Stall Updates for 2025

Debut Stall

Our well-known and loved Debut Stalls are perfect for emerging designers, making your first Finders Keepers market more accessible.

There are two options available:

The standard debut stall is 2m x 2m.
We also offer a fashion debut stall with more room for clothing racks at 3m x 2m.

The debut option is for first-time sellers only, and is only valid for your first Finders Keepers market, regardless of city.

Debut stalls are very sought after as we only offer approximately 20 debut spots per market! We highly recommend selecting a secondary stall option when applying.

Please note: If it's your first time applying for a Finders Keepers market, you don't have to choose our debut option, you can still elect for a regular or larger stall too. Please also note, the Debut Stall price does not automatically apply to you even if it’s your first market.

Buddy Stalls

We offer limited Buddy Stalls in two size options for you to share with another designer: 4m x 2m and 6m x 2m. Pool your resources, share the load and the love and work together to bring your special collaborative store to life!

A Buddy Stall is when you share a stall that is essentially split into two spaces that work harmoniously together. This could be a great brand collaboration that crosses over, two brands run by the same operator or two like-minded brands that want to work together and share resources. You will still be listed and recognised as two brands. To apply for a Buddy Stall you must submit one application with both brands included.

Important to note: You will have one primary account holder and only a few additional fields on the application form for your buddy. You will need to make sure both brands' information, stall images and marketing images are included together, for curation and marketing purposes. Once approved, the secondary brand will be invited to submit an additional application so they will be in the stallholder dashboard too.

Love from our Community

Carly from a Public Holiday

"I love how Finders Keepers brings together makers from all over Australia and creates such a strong badass community. Each event always has a real family vibe (just like a family reunion) where you get to catch up with your interstate mates and meet so many new like minded creatives."

Rhiannon from Yalu Natural Perfume

"Since I started working with FK it's been nothing but love. The support, communication, and opportunities are outstanding. It's given my little business the platform to grow and bloom in so many ways. People that come to Finders Keepers are there to meet the makers. They care about the love we put into making our creations. There is something super special about that connection."

Natalie from Corner Block Studio

"We've made special friendships and important business contacts from markets over the years – Finders Keepers have shaped our lives, lifestyle and business in many great ways."
