A GUIDE TO THE BEST SECOND-HAND MARKETS: BRISBANE
001. In a follow up post to my "Guide to Ethical and Sustainable Shopping" I've decided to feature a few of my favourite second-hand fashion markets from around Brisbane. Definitely one thing I miss about living in the city is the endless options for finding funky pre-loved clothes. I hope this is helpful for you Brissie gals and inspires you to shop sustainably, BECAUSE IT'S SO DARN EASY AND AFFORDABLE!
