According to the Oxford dictionary, an artisan is a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand.
Shopping artisan businesses usually means that you’re supporting a skilled craftsperson, or someone who’s creating their own products.
Whether designing and making everything themselves, or designing and having a production partner create them, artisans fill an important role in commerce.
The originality of products and the uniqueness of the items for sale on artisans’ website and in their brick-and-mortar shops is a welcome relief from the sameness that large box stores and mega-websites offer.
The businesses on this website also include supply sellers and vintage sellers, because our goal is to connect you with people who can give you a different product and buying experience than you’ll get on other websites.
Vintage items can give your home a unique look that you won’t find anywhere else, and supplies will let you create your own “artisan” items.
