It's the incredibly creative Jimmy - a regular at our Rummage..
Hi gang, I'm Jimmy and I make clothing, accessories, jewelery and other miscellany under the label Restless. I only sell at the Suitcase Rummage at the moment along with a suitcase of vintage and retro clothing and knick knacks. I'm a veteran marketeer, 10yrs on and off, selling my wares from Valley to Byron Bay and the Rummage from their beginning.
My background is in visual arts and fashion design so I always bring some things that are fascinating and curious. In the previous rummages I've brought medical skulls, russian bear fur hats, my hand painted dolls to my own hair (when I had hair!) made into a necklace.
I occasionally bring my typewriter for people to write their own love letters. One time a fella wrote one that was 5 pages!
I've been concentrating on leather craft lately, all my pieces are hand made and some are even hand stitched. I make new items every month so there's always something different at my stall. Look out for some ostrich, cane toad and snakeskin items in the future rummages!
I reuse as much materials as I can, my leather are all cut offs and I use many things (like zips) from op shops.Thanks for continuing to support the Suitcase Rummage, vintage and retro gear and especially us, the local handmade artisans!
