July 18th, 2024

Each Saturday, Sutter Health’s Midtown Farmers Market presented by SMUD spans over five blocks with 200+ local vendors. Each month, we will be highlighting a different vendor from the market. Read on to learn more about this month’s featured vendor, Bunker’s Attic.

 

Q: What is your name and how are you involved with Bunker’s Attic?

A: My name is Vicki Bennet, and I am a one-woman show at Bunker’s Attic.

 

Q: Where can we find you at the market?

A: I am located on the intersection of K Street and 19th Street in the Merchant Market.

 

Q: How long have you been in business?

A: I’ve been upcycling since 2007. I started out by selling in shops and popping up whenever possible.

 

Q: What made you want to start your business?

A: I love creating and always have ideas. My friend says I’m an entre-manure because I do all kinds of s**t. I have always been a very hard worker and knew when it was time to work for myself and share my passion.

 

Q: How long have you been at Midtown Farmers Market?

A: I have been at the Midtown Farmers Market for two years now.

 

 

Q: What do you enjoy about selling your products at Midtown Farmers Market?

A: It’s been very validating to see the response I get at the Midtown Farmers Market. The Midtown vibe is the best. The customers and the market community are just amazing.

 

Q: What is your favorite product that you sell?

A: I love the band tee dresses and talking to customers about music, and I also love the upcycled vintage watch band bracelets.

 

 

Q: What is your favorite memory at the market?

A: There have been so many laughs with customers and people bringing their friends to meet me and my shop. Last Saturday, a customer even brought me breakfast, which was so sweet.

 

Q: What do you want people to know about your business that they may not be able to tell by seeing your booth at the market?

A: Bunker’s Attic is a one-woman show. I hand select every piece to repurpose it, which is more sustainable. I am always searching for vintage, funky pieces and prints for the dresses that I make. I will not ever put anything with my name on it that I don’t personally love. I’m very proud and grateful for what I’ve accomplished. You can shop at my store online at bunkersattic.com or visit me on Saturday at the Midtown Farmers Market.
