There’s a reason The Finders Keepers market is one of the best places to shop all-things design — bringing together makers, creatives, and local brands together under one roof.

For its 85th instalment, the festival-style design market returns to Melbourne at the Royal Exhibition Building from October 10 to 12.

This season’s line-up features stalls by 260 small creative businesses, with everything from homewares to ceramics, art, fashion, jewellery and plenty of unique gift ideas on offer.

For the first time, The Design Files will be there selling our print magazine!

Exclusive to The Finders Keepers, you can come pick up a copy of our brand new The Design Files Magazine Issue 03 before it officially hits shelves. Plus, those who sign up for a 12-month subscription can also score a free TDF tote bag.

Keep an eye out for The Design Files magazine kiosk and come say hello!

The event is also hosting an exciting new showcase by Australian-made furniture and lighting brand Dowel Jones.

Housed within the market, the Museum of Modern Craft (MoMC), will spotlight vessels and vases by the likes of Amanda Dziedzic, Claire Ellis, Tantri Mustika — just to name a few.

Plus, marketgoers will be treated to live music from local DJs and musicians, a bevy of bars and food vendors, and an outdoor dining area dubbed the Picnic Ground.

Tickets are on sale now and on the door all weekend. But we recommend getting yours ASAP, with discounted prices for those who pre-purchase online before the event opens!
