What is I heart Market?

I heart Market is a community of makers. For 14 years, we’ve been creating a platform for local design, craft, fashion and food. I heart Market is the anti-mall – providing a retail space for local creatives, that is also a great day out in Durban. On market day, Durbanites and visitors, friends and family gather at I heart Market to meet the makers, people watch, eat great food and support local artisans and crafters.
