My Walk in Wardrobe brings sustainable fashion market back to Porirua, with free entry and dozens of local stalls showcasing preloved and vintage clothing.

A popular sustainable fashion market is set to return to Porirua, offering locals a chance to shop second-hand and support circular fashion.

The My Walk in Wardrobe Sustainable Fashion Market will be held at Kai Tahi on Saturday 2 May from 10am to 2pm. Entry is free and the event is open to all ages.

Organisers say the market will feature around 40 stalls selling preloved, upcycled, vintage, handmade and locally made clothing, shoes and accessories. Items will cater to all genders and a wide range of sizes.

The event is part of a series running throughout the year, with additional dates scheduled for 25 July and 17 October at the same venue.

Shoppers are encouraged to bring cash, as some stallholders may not have eftpos, and to carry reusable bags. Colour-coded flags will help visitors navigate stalls, with green indicating size 18 and above, and red marking menswear or masculine styles.

The market is organised by My Walk in Wardrobe and aims to make sustainable fashion accessible while supporting local sellers and reducing textile waste.
