As we wrap up an incredible year and look back on our SS24 events in Sydney and Melbourne, we’re filled with gratitude and joy. 2024 has been huge, thanks to the amazing community of stallholders and supporters who bring The Finders Keepers to life. From exciting debuts to catching up with long time favourites, every moment has been filled with creativity, connection, and community. ❤️
We’re thrilled to share the full albums of market memories, captured by the talented Samee Lapham. Stallholders looking to license these images for commercial use, please contact Samee here.
