(Heard it from the grapevine you can buy vintage goods on Etsy- not just googly eyes and pink furry construction paper) New York, New York
Etsy. We all know Etsy- or at least I thought we did. In polling some people I know, I discovered that 90% of them thought it was simply arts and crafts. Yes, some of the people I asked were professional men, but hey, they’re the ones more unlikely to know, so I was curious in their responses. One remarked that the stock was something I won’t repeat on here.
Arts and crafts?! I frowned. Etsy has such a wide range of products too, I was actually upset to hear that people condemned it as a place for old ladies who have nothing better to do but knit sweaters for their pugs, or moms who are stuck at home all day with three sugar crazed kids. There’s vintage clothes, there’s lovely soaps and useful home products like tables. Tables made by men ! And sold by men too. Fancy that!
What do you shop on Etsy for? There is such a variety of goods, sometimes I don’t even know where to start.
Crafting supplies?
Birthday celebration supplies?
Gifts for a range of celebrations?
Personal gifts?
Home décor?
Home improvement?
Cooking supplies
Clothing?
One of a kind products?
Holiday décor?
Pet supplies?
Vintage collectibles?
Odds and ends?
Beauty Supplies?
I could go on and on. If you can think it up, if it does exist, it exists on Etsy.
