Entrepreneurial trio creates Noughties Market CLT, revolutionising vintage fashion

Ella, Bella, and Mariela, three friends with a shared love for Noughties fashion (late ’90s and early 2000s), have turned their passion into a successful business venture called Noughties Market CLT. The idea for the market came after the friends individually established their own secondhand clothing shops during the pandemic and realised the lack of female vendors in vintage markets. Noughties Market CLT hosts semi-monthly events that bring together secondhand clothing and craft vendors, creating a vibrant community and supportive space for entrepreneurship. The market’s founders prioritise sustainability and aim to combat fast fashion by promoting secondhand shopping as a way to find unique and affordable clothes while reducing environmental impact. The entrepreneurs have leveraged social media, primarily Instagram, to build their customer base and showcase their curated collections. Through their venture, they aim to open doors and create opportunities in the secondhand fashion market.
