The event is free and family-friendly, making it an ideal outing for all ages.
The Heart of Sustainable Fashion
Laura Park, the founder of Pre-Loved Market Perth, expressed her excitement about the event’s return to Subiaco, highlighting its significance in promoting sustainable fashion and supporting small businesses. “Subiaco has such a strong sense of style and community—it’s the perfect setting for a day that’s all about sustainable fashion, supporting small businesses, and celebrating creativity,” she said.
Park further noted the partnership with SEE Subiaco and the City of Subiaco, emphasizing the collaborative effort to make the event bigger and better than ever. The market has quickly become a cherished stop on the Pre-Loved Market calendar, drawing fashion enthusiasts and eco-conscious shoppers alike.
A Boost to Subiaco’s Market Scene
The event has been a significant addition to Subiaco’s thriving market scene, according to City of Subiaco Mayor David McMullen. He praised the market for its role in enhancing the suburb’s vibrant community atmosphere and supporting local businesses.
Founded in 2022, Pre-Loved Market Perth is a curated community event that champions sustainability, creativity, and connection. It holds markets across Perth, including locations in Fremantle and Joondalup, with the aim of providing a platform for buying and selling pre-loved fashion while promoting conscious consumption.
Sustainability and Community Engagement
The Pre-Loved Market’s emphasis on sustainability aligns with a growing global trend towards environmentally friendly practices in the fashion industry. By encouraging the purchase of second-hand clothing, the market contributes to reducing the environmental impact of fast fashion, which is known for its significant carbon footprint.
Experts in sustainable fashion have lauded such initiatives for their role in fostering a culture of conscious consumption. According to a report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, extending the life of clothing by just nine months can reduce its environmental impact by 20-30%.
