After a long hiatus, Second to None (220) brings their flagship event – a second-hand santhe or open flea market to help us reuse and conserve material which we might be throwing away without giving a thought. Second to None is a community for used, recycled and upcycled goods. In collaboration with Citizen Matters, this event is designed to be Annual 220 Fundraiser and will be held this Saturday 27th July at Rangoli Art Centre, Metro station, MG Road.
You can expect upcycled and recycled home decor, bags, accessories, small utilitarian products from upcycled wood, textiles, and a collection of well preserved pre-loved items at this flea market. Workshops and sessions on how to create with discarded waste materials will be conducted through out the day.
Our pre-loved items Donation Drive gives you a chance to donate clock that you don’t care for, or books that the kids have grown out of and other things like CDs, electronics in working condition, home decor items, toys, new clothes etc.
The proceeds will go to support — How to make Bengaluru Water Secure! A special series on how Bengaluru can stop hurtling towards Day Zero, by Citizen Matters.
