Suitcase Rummage

Suitcase Rummage is a mini scaled market aimed at supporting emerging artists, crafters and second-hand marketeers from all ages and backgrounds. 

The focus is on eco-friendly, ethical consumerism that fosters a local, sustainable economy by encouraging entry level entrepreneurs.

Sales are from a suitcase (or two!) and other than a $25 registration fee (which covers PLI) there are no overheads. 

This way we can make the Rummage accessible to all people from all walks, providing them with a platform and kick start.

Suitcase Rummage is the brainchild of Daniele Constance and Isabel FitzGerald, who saw a 'gap in the market' for artists, crafters and entrepreneurs, many of whom could not afford the sometimes massive overheads that come with participating in arts and crafts markets. With the help of Brisbane City Council, they launched the event as part of Youth Week in Brisbane, and since then have delivered the event independently and regularly throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Ipswich and now Melbourne. 

The event will be held in the Velvet Room of the Thornbury Theatre on Sunday the 29th of July. It is Free Entry, there will be emerging musicians and performers, entertainment, food, it will be a grand day!
