OUR mission statement

MADE ON THE LEFT was founded in 2008 by independent designers to support Western Australian creative talent. We hold bi-annual handmade craft markets to showcase local designers.

Being on the left hand side of Australia no longer

means you'll be at a disadvantage.

Our aim is to support all creative designers and events showcasing independent labels. MOTL is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation. You may wonder why we promote other markets besides MOTL; it’s because it’s not about us, its about you; the buyers and sellers of indie wares. Here at the blog, you’ll discover up to date information about our latest market, the low-down on some of Perth’s emerging talents, other opportunities for artists and designers and a little bit of fun stuff too. It’s all right here… welcome!

Cancellation of Mandurah Festival Mini-Market

Hi All,

Just a little note to say due to some problems, we have sadly had to cancel our mini-market at the Mandurah Crab Festival, which was scheduled for next weekend.

We hope you'll all join us at our next event, the regional Bunbury July Market.

Lauren & The Team.
