Showcasing the talents of Wairarapa artisans, foodies and creative types, the New Rags Market Day is “ a balm for the soul of those who are tired of seeing the same old stuff in the same old shops and really don’t want any more mass-produced ‘stuff’ filling up their homes ” says convener Abbie McCall. “Instead we are offering something funky and fresh – a lush market full of local flavour, where people can linger and find something unique, handcrafted, pre-loved or up-cycled.”
