Picture a night market that got into the rave tent by mistake and decided to stay. DJs running the room, lights doing something unreasonable, and stalls full of pieces that exist exactly once. That is what we are building for the week before Halloween in Nashville.
We are co-hosting it with [Pink Glitter Thrift Boutique](https://www.pinkglitter.org/), a Nashville nonprofit whose whole thesis is that clothes can do more than one job. More on them below, because their story is the reason this partnership makes sense.
Where this is right now
Honestly: early. This is an interest check, not a ticket page. Sherry posted the call-out and five makers put their hand up within days, which is why it is now a real page instead of a group chat. What we do not have yet is a signed venue, and without a venue there is no date and no booth pricing.
Why vend this one
- It is curated, not a table-rental. We are picking the mix so the room reads as one thing rather than forty unrelated stalls.
- The audience is dressed for it. A rave-adjacent Halloween crowd is already shopping for something nobody else will be wearing - that is the entire SCRAPD proposition, in a room.
- You do not have to already sell on SCRAPD. Plenty of the people we want have never listed with us. Applying here is not an application to the marketplace, and it does not commit you to one.
- Applying costs nothing. There is a vendor fee for a stall and we are confirming the amount shortly - you will get the number before anyone is asked to pay, and nothing here commits you to it.
The one hard rule
Independent creators only. No mass-produced stock, no drop-shipping, no reselling a wholesale catalogue with your logo on it. We enforce this on the marketplace by reviewing every shop by hand, and we will enforce it here the same way. If you make it, rework it, sew it, print it, cast it or wire it yourself, you are who we are looking for.
Who we are looking for
Upcyclers and reworked creators
You take something that already exists and make it something else. Reworked denim, patchwork, chopped-and-rebuilt tailoring, deadstock reassembled.
Rave and festival fashion makers
Harnesses, chrome, mesh, cyber, kandi, anything built for a dark room and a loud system.
Costume makers
Full builds, masks, horns, props, wearable sculpture. It is the week before Halloween. This is your quarter.
Alternative and handmade fashion creators
Goth, punk, fetish-adjacent, subculture tailoring, hand-dyed, hand-printed, hand-anything.
Weird, wild and wonderfully original makers
Sherry's own words, and deliberately the widest door in the room. If your work does not fit a box above and you know it belongs here, apply under this one.
The one rule
Independent creators only.
Nothing mass-produced, nothing drop-shipped. This is the same rule the SCRAPD marketplace runs on, and it is the whole point of the room.

Where Compassion Meets Fashion.
Cynthia Tidwell started Pink Glitter after a breast cancer scare, turning a passion for thrifting into a mission. It is a Nashville nonprofit, and the clothes are the means rather than the point.
My mission was not only to provide a sanctuary for fashion enthusiasts but to create a space where style serves a greater purpose.
Fashion with Purpose. A Passion for Fashion, A Heart for Change. Those are their words, and they run the shop on three stated pillars.
Cancer Awareness & Support
Beauty services and support groups for people facing cancer, run with The RnB Beauty Bar and Image Maker Beauty Institute.
Sustainable Fashion
Reducing waste, promoting recycling, and giving pieces a second chance instead of a landfill.
Community at Heart
A community hub as much as a shop, and open to all.
What is in the shop
Trendy Fashion - Charlee's Western Wear - Curvy Girls - Vintage - Denim Bar - Karmyn's Corner

Before you ask
Questions
- Who can apply to vend?
- Independent makers only - people who actually make, rework or build the thing they are selling. Upcyclers, rave and festival fashion, costume makers, alternative and handmade fashion, and anyone weird, wild and wonderfully original. No mass-produced or drop-shipped goods, no exceptions.
- Is there a fee to vend?
- Yes. There is a vendor fee for a stall, and we are confirming the amount shortly - booth pricing depends on the venue and we have not signed one, so we are not going to publish a number we might have to change. To be clear: applying here is free and commits you to nothing, and we will send the fee to everyone who applied before we ask anybody for money.
- Do I need to already sell on SCRAPD?
- No. This is a real-world market and it is open to makers who have never touched our marketplace. The application asks whether you already sell with us purely so we know who we are talking to.
- What if I have never vended before?
- Apply anyway. A first market is not a disqualifier and we would rather have a brilliant maker who has never done a stall than a slick setup selling imported stock. Tell us what you make in the form and we will take it from there.
- Is it family friendly?
- Being finalised. It is a night market with DJs, so the timing and the age policy both depend on the venue and its licence. We will publish the age policy with the date rather than promise something the venue might overrule.
- When will I hear back?
- We are not going to invent a service-level promise. Applications go straight to Sherry, and she reviews them personally as they come in. The realistic answer is that the substantive conversation happens once the venue is signed and we know how many stalls exist.
- When is the date announced?
- As soon as the venue is confirmed. If you want to know the moment it lands, use the notify form on this page - that list exists for exactly one email.
