The Market Day happens on the last Friday of every month and is a bargain basement sale of all the donations we have received which weren't work appropriate.
Because we only accept items in great condition, the quality presented is well, great. There were many new items too, with tags attached.
We typically have many local and overseas designer items, most of which we sell for $10-$20. Today, brands included Alannah Hill tops for $10, Sportscraft dresses for $10, a Morrissey dress for $10, Jigsaw items (many), Verge (NZ brand) & TS14+.
The local high street brands sell for around $5 a piece. Today we had brands like H&M, Zara, ASOS, Witchery, Sussan, Events, Cue, Veronika Maine and Kookai.
Occasionally something truly special will be priced at $20-$30. We had a Versace Signature silk shirt, a Max Mara Italian jacket and a Michael Kors trench coat.
There was also a bargain bin for $2 that was overflowing with pretty things.
Finally shoes & accessories were priced to clear.
Oh & we also had lingerie, knickers at $10 & bras at $15 - all NEW.
The sizes are very varied from 6s to 22s.
First in best dressed at bargain prices.

Why should you go to the Market Day sale?
Because the prices are ridiculously low
& BTW, everything I have photographed was in imaculate condition, apart from needing a press.
For those of you that hate shopping & rummaging through sale racks, this sale is different because its not endless & exhausting and it isnt crowded - so you can take your time.
The change rooms are large, private & well lit with individual mirrors, so the comfort factor is high.
We dont provide champagne, but we can provide a glass of cold water while you consider what will follow you home.
What did I buy?
2 x Calvin Klein knickers
& a Paula Ryan (NZ designer) jersey cardi in black with long ties (great as another layering layer)....
