If you’re tired of searching through Etsy and Instagram trying to find cute artists to support, we’ve made a list of our favourite independent artists and designers worldwide for handmade and unique products.
We have personally shopped at most of these sites and are satisfied with the products and service provided by all. Most will ship internationally but support those near you to save on shipping and find out about local events.
