WE are all guilty, well I am not but my wife is, of filling wardrobes and drawers with items of clothing that for one reason or another, eventually becomes surplus to our needs, some without ever being worn.
Having studied fashion at RMIT and worked her way through the industry, Shepparton’s Nicole Morse is trying a new approach to sustainably empty out some closets and put those garments into new ones.
Regional Rummage looks at eliminating the enormous waste that the fashion industry has promulgated over the years. Nicole is a member of Zero Waste, a Facebook group in Shepparton with over 2,000 members who are actively interested in eliminating waste.
Along with some 60-plus other sellers who have perfectly good clothes to clear, having discussed the idea with some friends, Nicole pulled together a pop-up market to take place in Victory Hall, Tatura. There is room for a few more sellers and the event will be happening indoors and outside in true market fashion.
Putting new life into fashionRegional Rummage will happen on Sunday, February 21, from 10am to 2pm at Victory Hall, 75 to 81 Hogan St. Tatura. If you want to add a selling point, contact Nicole on her website at http://regionalrummage.com.au.
