You don’t have to beg, borrow or steal at the Gilles Flea market! Alright that sounded kind of cheesy but well, here it goes. So once a month, mostly on the third Sunday, a portion of this Gilles Primary School in Adelaide transforms into a vintage/retro market thing.
The flea market here feels fresher in the sense that the weather is actually cool and you can avoid the claustrophobic feeling one can sometimes encounter at the markets. There is nobody pushing anybody nor shoving themselves around with sweaty arms. And since that Sunday was a sunny one, everything just seems nicer to me.
And boy did I find some bargains! I bought a black friday tee for only $15! I am pretty sure it’s not a replica because it’s not a mainstream label. Besides, I don’t think the China and Korean manufacturers would want to replicate such a low key brand.
As I browse through the stalls, I noticed that there were really quite a number of editorial clothing available in the market. Things I wish I would borrow to do a photoshoot with. But well, I don’t own a publication so that’s out of the question. Also, I was quite surprised when I saw a faux fur jacket for AU$35. Not something anyone I know would wear but it still is a steal. Rhythms? HAHA!
There was a wide range of mens clothing as well! I saw this reversible jacket that screams Grease; I mean, John Travolta virtually floated into my mind at the very site of it. Since the jacket was reversible I figured I could wear them to to vintage/retro theme events. At AU$35, the price was reasonable BUT I questioned myself about how many vintage/retro theme parties have I been invited to and actually attended: That answer would be zero! So, I reluctantly decided to let it go.
It is best to visit the Gilles Market after 2pm because many items are on sale and you have a better chance of being more successful if you were to haggle for a lower price.
The flea market closes at 4pm but you only need 2 hours to go through every single piece of fashion and accessory that is on display. If you are not into style, the Gilles Market also offers hand made craft gifts like a hand sewn monster looking plushie or some ornaments you can use to decorate your house with.
The date of the next flea is in the photo, be sure you mark it in your calendar if you are interested. Unfortunately, I won’t be joining you guys because I’ve just signed up for… THE CITY TO BAY RUN! I’m doing the 12km run through the streets of Adelaide all the way to Glenelg beach in the name of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) and also for Flinders Housing.
