The French Collection

Three budding upcyclers head to a market in Toulouse in south west France, known for the pink bricks in its buildings; our rivals are each given 800 euros to spend and advice from collectables expert Mark Franks. They get 3 hours to buy before returning to the UK to upcycle – before travelling to Tunbridge Wells to sell everything for maximum profit. Whoever makes the most money walks away with everyone’s cash. Julie transforms odd bits of old chandeliers into statement necklaces, Nick turns an old ladder into a herb management system, and Assly learns the art of hydro-dipping.
