Upper Highway Thrifted and Vintage Treasures Market
The Upper Highway Thrifted and Vintage Treasures Market is a platform that enables
locals to trade safely and sustainably using preloved, unwanted, and
second-hand items.
Finding a great market in any town can feel like a treasure hunt, but the Upper Highway Lifestyle Pop-Up could be just the spot you're looking for.
This exciting event will take place this weekend at the Historic Kloof Civic Hall, located at 31 Old Main Road, Kloof.
One of the main features of the market is the Upper Highway Thrifted and Vintage Treasures Boutique, founded by Sanja Hanekom. This market offers a unique opportunity for locals to buy, sell, and trade second-hand goods in a sustainable and community-driven setting.
At the market, you'll uncover a range of sustainable, thrifted styles, all handpicked for their charm and history. Hanekom created this market out of frustration with the challenges of selling second-hand items online, where scams and lack of transparency can often complicate transactions.
"Our platform provides a physical space for locals to connect, trade, and build a community."
Their mission, however, extends far beyond just providing a platform for trade.
Hanekom said, "We desire to challenge the culture of consumerism that is driving waste and pollution. We believe changing our consciousness around consumption and waste can create a more sustainable future. Our platform is a small but crucial step towards this goal, as we believe that second-hand trade is a key part of a circular, no-waste economy."
In its first year, the Upper Highway Thrifted and Vintage Treasures Market hosted 11 pop-up events and 30 one-day retail pop-ups.
These efforts quickly attracted a dedicated following, all united in their commitment to sustainable living.
Our events are bustling with activity, and we've inspired a community-driven movement that extends beyond our platform as the emergence of new micro-businesses and events inspired by our concept.
