2 Weeks to Go!

Nikki from Red Beach

The countdown is on, just two weeks until the Pre-Loved Fashion & Thrift Market returns!
If you love the thrill of the hunt, this is your chance to browse racks of quality pre-loved fashion, vintage gems, designer labels, and everyday wardrobe essentials, all at prices that make thrifting so much fun.

Whether you’re searching for a standout piece, stocking up on winter layers, or simply enjoying a good browse, there’s always something waiting to be discovered.
Bring a friend, grab a coffee, and make a morning of it.
🗓 Saturday 28 March
📍 Orewa Community Centre
Great fashion deserves a second life. ♻️👗
