Artisans Cooperative is the first “verified” handmade marketplace: welcoming and accessible for all mediums, disciplines, and niches. Our marketplace features authentic, original works produced with the care, dexterity, and judgment of an artisan who, at some point in the process, could ruin the work.
We know: we live in a world where stuff is cheap, disposable and mass manufactured. So our sellers verify the production of their physical and digital goods is genuinely done by hand and outsourcing is limited to faithful reproduction of one-of-a-kind works. Verified shops receive a “Verified: Handmade” badge on their marketplace shop. Our other marketing channels exclusively feature Verified members and their products.
With Artisans, you are not only helping creative, passionate people build a life of self-reliance, you are also getting something incredibly valuable. Handmade items carry special weight and pride among the objects of our lives. And the connection you forge with the artisan during the buying process will be a part of that value.
For more information, including clarification on whether some types of products are allowed, a glossary of terms, and details about in-house, outsourced, and Print-on-Demand (POD) production, please read the Handmade Policy.
