The designers’ paradise sees the super popular K is for Kani participating as a stallholder for the very first time. “This will be my first Finders Keepers market event and I’m extremely excited to be showing my work to my audience directly. I love how markets give people the chance to see and try the product in person and meet the seller, it’s a whole different world to selling online,” said Connie Cao, the lady behind the label.
