One of the reasons I love Finland is the quality of the second hand shops and events.
This one is happening at the Opera, Tampere Talo, this Saturday and is free entrance.
"UPEE Second Hand is an accessible and free event celebrating sustainable consumption and fashion. It brings together individuals interested in sustainable consumption and suppliers of second hand products. Finnish brands Uhana, Ivana Helsinki and many more are participating in the event with their second hand products! The event is an opportunity to listen to interesting speeches, meet professionals in the ethical fashion world and find treasures at the quality fleamarket, among other things."
