A Saturday well-spent in Sydney starts with a trip to Paddington Markets, the city’s original art and craft market (since 1973) and a reflection of the now well-heeled suburb’s edgier heritage. Always buzzy and complemented by live music and food stalls, its emphasis is on up-and-coming local designer clothing and accessories: Zimmerman, Sass & Bide and Dinosaur Designs got their big breaks here. Nearby, you can also browse the boutiques of Oxford Street, Sydney’s premier fashion strip for established Australian designers.
