Esty allows access to handmade crafts-men and crafts-women to sell their work online. Etsy expands across the globe to sellers and buyers in over 150 countries. The company was founded in 2005 and likes to be considered a community above all. Their slogan, “Buy, Sell, Live Handmade” is exactly what they do. Their products present an easy alternative to a new economy by skipping the department stores and hitting up the one-of-a-kind handmade products that no one else has. From vintage necklaces to 1950’s side tables, Etsy supplies an alternative to the digging through those bins at the flea market and antique stores to online hunting. It has opened doors for crafters to sell their work to the mainstream and creating an identity for their brand.
I am constantly searching their site for the newest ideas and items available. Allow me to do the hard work for you and show you the goods.
