A former Honda showroom on Hoddle Street in Collingwood has been transformed into an artisinal market and retro roller disco, with monthly events starting on July 31.
The inaugural Collingwood Artisan Market, by Melbourne market company ‘Bourne Local, is set to kick off on Sunday July 31 and will feature a retro roller disco, homegrown Victorian stallholders, offering a mix of eclectic and eco-conscious fashion, accessories, home décor and beauty. ‘Bourne Local say the venue has had a thorough makeover, with an industrial chic backdrop and all-weather space.
The market will take over the former Honda showroom site at 21-53 Hoddle Street in what the owners say will reinvigorate Collingwood’s east-end monthly for the remainder of 2022. Vendors include the likes of Daffi Leather, offering handcrafted leather belts and products, Faux & Belle, slinging faux fur fashion items and SÃO Homewares, with ethical and handmade homewares from independent artisans and indigenous Brazilian communities.
