An even better marketplace for handmade goods just launched: Artisans Cooperative
Oct 2, 2026
The ethical trade, artisan-owned platform is owned by handmade artisans and conscious shoppers.
Gladstone, OR (PRUnderground) October 2nd, 2026
Exactly three years after launching it's beta test, today Artisans Cooperative opened it's online marketplace platform for handmade goods run by people and for people. The general public can now both sell and shop unique creations on a better handmade marketplace that's fully controlled and operated in-house, by artisan hands.
"I love that my handmade work has a place among ... other authentically handmade artisan products. I really appreciate that Artisans Cooperative puts it's artisans first." - Artisans Member, Erin
Artisans Cooperative marketplace is a fair, artisan-owned platform that values craftsmanship, transparency, and ethical trade. The massive influx of mass-produced, drop-shipped goods on major platforms like Etsy and Amazon has made it nearly impossible for authentic artisans to survive on mainstream marketplaces. Creative business owners want to be part of something genuine that stands for honesty instead of profits, and cares to market their products directly to customers who value handmade goods and the artisans who create them. Meanwhile, conscious shoppers are looking for shame free shopping where they can make their dollar count in supporting creative livelihoods.
"It has been harder and harder to find authentic and handmade items for years. I hate having to search through 15 pages of dropship shops before finding an actual artist. Artisans Cooperative makes it easy!" - Artisans Member, Lizzy
Mass-produced, drop-shipped goods and increasingly volatile rules and fees make it nearly impossible for authentic artisans to survive, even with the support of conscious shoppers. None of that is welcome at Artisans. Skill and judgment must be so critical to the creation process of listed products that experienced industry peers can verify the artisan could have potentially ruined listed products in the process, but they didn't. Simple, transparent commissions from free listings keep authentically handmade goods available at reasonable prices for shame-free shopping by customers who value the story and artistry behind the piece.
"I don't want to line the pockets of large corporations who only look out for themselves. Instead, I want to support the people who are making things and have a small portion go to ... connecting the buyers and sellers". - Artisans Member, Adam
"Artists and crafters NEED a space that isn't just another venture capital-funded business...So this is exactly the right combination of ideals and beliefs that I've been looking for". - Artisans Member, Jack
About Artisans Cooperative Artisans Cooperative was inspired to build a better handmade marketplace for the online creative community following the collective loss of trust in Etsy management after the 2022 #EtsyStrike.
