Hello Sailor Vintage Fair
- Words by Peppermint
In exciting news for vintage lovers, the Hello Sailor Vintage Fair at St Kilda’s Memo launches this Sunday in Melbourne, kickstarting what promises to be a fine legacy of events. Under the incredible plaster ceilings of this gorgeous art deco theatre and against a lively backdrop of music, go go dancing and high tea, 30 stall holders will be offering their wares. We hear that a regular market on the 3rd Sunday of every month is in the cards, but you’d better believe that the grand launch will be the one to catch. Entry is by gold coin donation, with the fun kicking off at 10am.
