Kloof's Hidden Gem: A hunt for vintage treasures in KZN
Love vintage and sustainability? Head to Kloof's Thrifted Market where you’ll score unique clothes, records, treasures, and much more...
Calling all KZN thrifting enthusiasts and sustainability champions! There's a new spot in town waiting to be explored: The Upper Highway Thrifted & Vintage Treasures Market.
Imagine rows of clothing bursting with quality second-hand finds, vintage records waiting to be rediscovered, and hidden treasures peeking out from overflowing boxes.
As Sanja Hanekom, the market's founder, describes it: "An array of clothing rails filled with quality second-hand clothing, bric-a-brac, small collectables and boxes of hidden treasures."
This market isn't just about shopping – it's about embracing a sustainable lifestyle and connecting with the community.
Whether you're a seasoned thrifter or simply curious about pre-loved treasures, this market offers something for everyone.
This initiative goes beyond just scoring the perfect vintage find.
It's about nurturing a culture of reuse and supporting local talent.
Hanekom aims to combat fast fashion and overflowing landfills by encouraging conscious living.
In her own words: "The reason I created this market is simple yet powerful – I wanted to nurture the culture of reuse, recycle, upcycle, and support our local economy."
Inspired by the wisdom of our grandmothers – valuing quality and giving items a second life – the Upper Highway Thrifted & Vintage Market is a space to share stories, make memories, and foster a love for pre-loved treasures.
It's a movement advocating for upcycling and celebrating local artisans.
