A virtual market to bring you and your loved ones some holiday cheer. Discover one-of-a-kind gifts and meet the makers who bring them to life.
Welcome to The Etsy Market Explore a one-of-a-kind world. Etsy is an online marketplace where makers can sell their creations to buyers across the globe. From handmade home decor to vintage jewellery and everything in-between, people come to Etsy to support small businesses and discover spectacularly special items perfect for everyone on their list.
Celebrate the holidays at The Etsy Market! Every year Etsy teams gather together to put on local events. Things couldn’t go as planned for 2020, but our sellers are good at getting creative. So they’ve organized this virtual market to help you find some truly great gifts. Explore their unique items, meet the makers, and most importantly, get into the holiday spirit.
BrisStyle Inc BrisStyle Inc. is a community group of artists & crafters who live in and around Brisbane - providing support and opportunities for our members through workshops, business & creative development sessions, markets exhibitions and get-togethers. We formed in March 2008 when a small group of Brisbane Etsy sellers got together for tea, cake and creative conversation. Since that ďŹ rst meeting in a West End coffee shop we've grown to a collective of over 350 members, all of whom understand that shiver of excitement that comes from producing handmade goods. Although our criteria no longer requires members to have an active Etsy store, we remain Brisbane's premier ETSY Team and strongly encourage those looking to sell their goods online to do so on Etsy. We hope you enjoy shopping this look book at much as we enjoyed pulling this amazing group of makers together.
