FASHION THRIFT SOCIETY IS COMING TO EDINBURGH

Edinburgh, Fashion Thrift Society is taking over Meadowbank Sports Centre on Sunday 31st of October from 11AM–5PM.

Australia’s biggest curated fashion market brings together vintage, preloved and independent fashion, local creatives, food, music, beauty, experiences and more - all under one roof.

WHAT’S ON

50+ curated stalls featuring vintage, preloved, designer and independent brands

Thousands of unique pieces to shop

Second-hand treasures alongside products from independent small businesses

Local food vendors

Music and DJs at select events

Beauty, fashion and creative activations that vary from city to city

SHOPPING AT FTS

Every stall at Fashion Thrift Society is run by an individual business or independent stallholder. Purchases are made and paid for directly at each stall, with no central FTS checkout.

Most stallholders accept card and/or cash, however payment methods vary between vendors, so we recommend having both available.

Bring along a reusable shopping bag or tote to carry your finds throughout the day. FTS tote bags will also be available to purchase at the merch desk at selected events.

BEAUTY, SERVICES & ACTIVATIONS

Alongside shopping, FTS events feature a rotating line-up of free and paid beauty, fashion and creative experiences.

Depending on the city, these may include nails, hair styling, barbering, tattoos, henna, permanent jewellery, piercings, tooth gems, grillz, tarot, brows and lashes, colour analysis, fashion illustration, records, kilo sales, clothes swaps and more.

Activations vary between events, with confirmed experiences announced via our social media and event updates.

Free services have limited availability and operate on a first-come, first-served basis, with sign-ups on the day. Paid services are operated independently, with pricing set by each provider.
