What:
Hello Sailor Vintage Fair
Where:
The Carlton Hotel & Studios, 197 Bourke St, Melbourne
When:
Sun Sept 28, 1-7pm
And semi-regularly every month
There are two things sailors really like: looking jaunty and drinking. Oh no wait - there are three things sailors really like. And at least two of them can be indulged in this Sunday at the Carlton. The bar is being transformed into a market, with 15 stalls in the dining room, the front balcony and the back courtyard selling vintage designer duds new and old, glamorous jewellery, jaunty jewellery, shoes and sundry trinkets. And if you're a salty dog who doesn't much care for fancy clothes, there'll also be salty vintage bikes and vinyl.
Carlton Hotel DJs will purvey whatever passes for shanties these days, and of course there will be cheap and plentiful beverages of the sangria and cocktails variety, plus BBQ sustenance. Get there early to transact the best stuff before it shows up on vintage shop racks for triple the price. (Yeh, you heard it, and we're not gonna take it anymore). This is the first in a series of monthly vintage fairs at the Carlton - if you want a stall at the next one, say ahoy to Rochelle.

ThreeThousand is a subcultural guide to Melbourne, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Melbourne writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
