The fashion set is out in full force for the Garage Sale Trail. It is bordering on ridiculous! Here are some of the must-sees on the trail. 

Some of the countries leading fashion stylists are hosting garage sales - that basically means that you have the opportunity to score clothes, shoes, bags, belts and everything in between from some of the country’s most tasteful people. 

Like who? I hear you ask…Well let me tell you, here is our first instalment for our NSW friends (so good that you might just consider getting on a plane for)

The absolutely fantastical Pip Edwards is hosting a sale in Bondi called “Our Big Sale” 

Style: high-end designer wear. 

At it, expect to find pieces from Brazilian-born designer Fernando Frisoni, Front Row Suit Blogger Liam McKessar, Russsh magazine Editor Jess Blanch.  

Not only that, but you might even find some celeb cast-aways as stylists to the starsEmily McGregor, Tiana Wallace and Sophie Hart also join in. . 

Friends of Vogue LIving sale “Show and Sell”

Stylist Jason Grant, Fashion Designer Clare Press of Mrs Press fame are selling off the contents of their cupboards, some of Mrs Press’ vintage treasures are bound to be in high demand. 

Up-and-coming product designers Trent Jansen and Henry Wilson will sell some of their product  prototypes - so you never know, you might just pick up something worth a lot of money one day as these fine fellas are set to be BIG.

But possibly the biggest draw card of the day will be Vogue Living Contributing Editor, Madeleine Hinchy’s baked goods - all proceeds will go toward the Red Cross Disaster Appeal.  

The Dear Pluto Vintage sale “Hell a Cheap Vintage and Free Vitamin Water”

Now here’s a girl who can put on a sale. Freshly back from an O/S sojourn where she’s been scouring Europe for the finest in vintage finds, Emma Daniels of Dear Pluto fame is hosting an extra special sale. Possibly a good one to hit around midday so you can replenish your vitals with some Vitamin Water. 

Holy moley get your freakin’ Hipster on! at the Hipster Jumble Sale 

This is where you’ll stumble upon the cooler-than-cool quirky one-offs, eclectic mix of street wear and boho never-been-worns. Sarah Jane (who appears in the pink jumpsuit in the Garage Sale Trail poster) and who owns Dirty Rich will be parting with some of her 150-strong collection of 1982-88 Reebok trainers and last season Dirty Rich stock including pieces from Wildfox, Dimepiece, Hellz Bellz & Joy Rich LA gems. 

This is a MASSIVE Surry Hills sale - 10-15 different sellers will be packing out a big old block and don’t be surprised if you end up pulling-up a crate, sipping on a cider and soaking up some tunes…for quite some time. 

Bric-a-Braakensiek - Annalise Braakensiek liberates her wardrobe

Official Garage Sale Trail Ambassador and all-round top gal, model/actor/designer/eco-warrior Annalise and friends are getting rid of a bunch of stuff.

And you can be pretty confident that it will all be some pretty special stuff - especially considering that the lingerie designer has travelled the world modelling and picked-up some pretty fancy things along the way. Most definitely another not-to-be-missed fashionista sale! 

All of this and more on Sunday April 10. Browse the map yourself by postcode or type ‘clothes’, ‘designer’, ‘shoes’ or whatever you like and see what comes up on the map.
