Pirdy

What started out as a bit of fun quickly turned into a thriving homewares and accessories business for Juliet Carr, the energetic designer of label Pirdy. With a background in visual merchandising and retail management, Juliet completed a casting course a little over 5 years ago and today boasts an ever expanding product range all made by hand (including molds and pigments) so it's little wonder that her products consistently wow and excite an eager market crowd.

Inspired by nature, nostalgia and colour, expect to find gorgeous Humming Birds, bright Peacocks for your home and some very 80s inspired jewellery!

Juliet loves the market for giving her the opportunity to chat with customers, seeing their reaction to her work and just generally being inspired by the creativity around the space.

Shagpile

Meet Andria, the creative mind behind accessories business Shagpile. My current collection for Shagpile consists of a range of products from earrings and rings to necklaces and headbands. Each piece is constructed from snippets of vintage and unusual fabrics which are pressed into buttons. The designs range from bold geometrics to delicate vintage florals with something to suit all fashion tastes.

My favorite products at the moment are mini button rings, especially since I love brightening things up with a splash of colour using jewellery and accessories.

The Rose St. Artist's Market has been a fantastic way for me to reach my customers. People really appreciate being able to meet the person who has made the product and it is a great way for me to get direct feedback from my customers. This has allowed me to more easily improve and develop products. There is also a wealth of knowledge amongst the stall holders at Rose Street and I have found it to be a very supportive environment in which to grow my brand.

They Call Me Ishmael

Every so often, a product comes along that is totally unique, playful and well thought out - totally encapsulating what Rose Street is all about. These dinosaur pot plants are exactly that! By Matthew Aldridge of They Call Me Ishmael, these dinosaur planters are totally carved and painted by hand and come in a beautiful array of pastel shades.

Since debuting at the market this year, they have proved to be a huge hit so this is one dinosaur that will be around for a while!
