just wondering what markets you guys would recommend for me. i am currently designing a range of handpainted mens and womens suitjackets and pants,
shoes, belts and screenprinted clothing, and am wondeirng where to market these items, i am running successfully at St Andrews at the moment but was
hopeing in the future to visit more markets. can anyone suggest what markets this sort of work may suit?
thanks
Ryan
They would sell like Hotcakes on ebay!!
I'd like to see more of 'em, that one looks excellent!
Queen Vic Market would do well. They look awesome!!
Mindle beach markets. A bit of a drive but well worth it.
Byron markets
esplanade market in st kilda, camberwell market, caribbean market. Very cool looking jackets, I wish I had one.
Hey Ryan,you know i do the market scene & have pretty much done all the decent ones in Vic over the past 7 years.Hands down The Esplanade is the best
market however not sure if they accept clothes yet.Although if the clothes are your "canvas" it may be accapted.They only have viewings every 3
months & if you get in you have to pay 3 months at a time up front.
The other fantastic market is the gaslight night market held every Wednesday night over the summer at the queen vic market but as far as i know they
don't take newbies/casuals once the season has started but if you haven't been in for at least a look its a definete fun night out.
Afew friends do Rose St market & although small & not massive sales i think its a good stepping stone,with some great artists & good exposure.
Its great that you're doing well at St Andrews,maybe i'll bring the splitty out to st Andrews for a cruise one Saturday.If you need to have a chat
don't hesitate to contact me.
What about the market area on Chapel St....?
thanks guys, will post some more pics soon (have about 20 jackets done, just been lazy with the camera)
tehe, would love to do the byron market, one of the guys up there is wearing one of my 1-off T's already. will have to take another look at the espy
market, maybe you are right Mandie, worth a shot anyway. and rose street is on my to-do list, purely for the inner city exposure.
thanks all
Ryan
heres a quick website with images, names and prices of all the jackets and shirts that are completed at the moment if anyone is interested:

hipichic, tried ebay, maybe i tried wrong categories or at the wrong time, but very little interest (only tried twice though)
bummer 
I just noticed that The Basin Music Festival is on in about two months, they are having a market and are looking for nice arty stuff for the market.
