Specializing in vintage clothing and furniture, Lost And Found Market's eye-catching displays offer an awe-inspiring glimpse into the recent past, a time capsule unearthed full of inspiring and beautiful items to decorate any home. Art Deco furniture is plentiful here, and it doesn't come cheap.
It is no surprise that the people of Melbourne have followed the Lost And Found Market through its changes of location over the years. It was Collingwood's vintage shopping haven - it didn't take long for the Brunswick incarnation to claim the same title.
The huge warehouse is packed to the rafters with vintage furniture and bric-a-brac mixed in with the more traditional vintage clothing, shoes, vintage records and classic books. And when you have managed to take it all in, the basement of the Lost And Found Market boasts a huge collection of even more vintage clothing.
Due to its size, frequency and popularity, the stock at Lost And Found Market changes regularly, so it is always worth a return visit if you are looking for something unique. Also, due to its size, the competition is high, which keeps the prices reasonable. Lost And Found Market can be a gold mine for those interested in vintage records or classic books.
It takes time and dedication to browse the entire market, and each shop has something to catch the eye. You can find everything from old typewriters, vintage telephones, antique cabinets, historical figures, old-fashioned coins and stamps. Whatever your interest, the Lost And Found Market has it. To brighten up the darkest days, a wide variety of music is played throughout the building, adding to the pleasant atmosphere.
Lost And Found Market is famous for its bargains, its ambiance and its ability to dazzle and amaze its visitors.
