Etsy Made Local London 2015

At last year’s Etsy Made Local,  12 inspiring and pioneering Etsy Teams (Nottingham Etsy Team, The Portsmouth & Southsea Consortium, Glasgow Etsy Team, Dorset Etsy Team, Cardiff and Valleys Members, Etsy Cambridge, Brighton Sellers’ Team, Team Leeds, Etsy Sellers in Bristol, Sheffield Sellers on Etsy, IDEAS Birmingham, London Local Team) organised a beautiful Christmas market in their local community.

Etsy artisans sold their handmade wares and vintage goods to thousands of local Christmas shoppers at markets and pop-up shops around the UK, with hosts helping to showcase the talent of local designer makers and the spirit of their communities.
