Etsy

Etsy is an online marketplace that primarily focuses on handmade, vintage, and unique factory-manufactured items. Established in 2005, it allows individual sellers, often small business owners or artisans, to set up shops and sell their goods directly to consumers. The platform is known for its emphasis on creativity and craftsmanship, offering products such as jewelry, clothing, art, home décor, and craft supplies. Etsy serves as a community for makers and buyers who appreciate distinctive and personalized items, distinguishing itself from larger retail platforms by its commitment to supporting independent creators and small businesses.
