about us
In 2018, I opened a shop with my best friend Annie, and it quickly became an eye-opening journey into the incredible talent of the small business world. The shop soon grew into a showcase for independent makers, and through it we discovered the power of being part of an indie traders community.
By 2023, under the umbrella of the shop, I hosted my very first market. It brought together a mix of the indie makers who supplied the shop and others whose work I really admired. That first market lit a spark….what if there could be a dedicated space that not only highlighted products and the makers, but also showcased shops, brands, and curators behind them?
This idea has grown into a vision….a community driven platform where independent traders and makers can showcase their creativity, connect with each other, and thrive together. It’s about more than just selling, it’s about supporting one another, telling our stories, and celebrating the indie spirit that makes each brand unique.
showcasing indie makers and traders in inspiring spaces, giving them the platform to be seen, celebrated, and discovered by their people….the customers who truly value them.
