The PYD Design Markets will showcase Sydney’s hottest young designers at the PYD Building this November with homewares, jewellery, fashion, object design, kids stuff, art and gifts – don’t forget your Christmas list.

Now that spring has sprung and Christmas is just around the corner, this will be the perfect opportunity to purchase something fresh for the wardrobe; maybe a one of a kind piece of jewellery or a gorgeous new clutch bag, or perhaps a summer spruce up for the abode with a funky new lamp, hand made pillowcase or a ceramic designer vase. So rather than browse the usual suspects for these items, Sydneysiders are once again being invited to explore the special wares at the highly anticipated annual PYD markets.
