Shop Locally : Australia Etsy Shop Haul
Uniqueness and quality are often the two elements that I'm after when purchasing goods online. Etsy, is a great online marketplace for people around the world to purchase handmade goods. Etsy's business mission is to provide a marketplace for
Creative entrepreneurs who use Etsy to sell what they make or curate, the shoppers looking for things they can’t find anywhere else, the manufacturers who partner with Etsy sellers to help them grow, and the Etsy employees who maintain and nurture our marketplace.
For the past few weeks, I purchased from three Australian's local Etsy shops, and surprisingly the quality of the goods are excellent, services from shops are beyond many well-established retailers. My main focus for my purchases is to look for "uniqueness","quality" and "locality". I aimed to buy from Australian seller in order to support local designer to expand, to continue with creating beautiful and high-quality goods at a reasonable price that's both satisfying for buyer and seller. In economic, it would be referred to as "equilibrium".
The first shop I purchased from is RubyRidgeStudios, a Sydney-based printable art and stationary shop, a shop that focuses on a belief that "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." I adore the products that Ruby Ridges offer, ranging from floral print mug to floral print tote bag with personalised name print. I purchased a personalised name floral tote bag. {Item AU$30.00+ shipping AU$13.50= AU$43.50}
The second shop I purchased from is Vantler Leather ,a personalised handmade leather accessories shop that offered handmade leather goodies. I purchased a monogram leather key-chain with custom hand stamped messages. I requested to have my favourite quote to be stamp on " Work Hard, Be Kind". The finished product is beyond beautiful. The key-chain comes in lovely packaging and shipping was quick and reasonably priced.{Item AU$12.99+ Shipping AU$4.00 =AU$16.99.}
The third shop i purchased from is FormMaker, an Australian designer based in Shanghai,China. Form Maker focus on designing and producing functional objects to celebrate the finer details in life. I got an iPhone 6 marble phone case, unlike usual print phone cases, Form Maker's phone case got an unique touch to it as it is made from eco-friendly UV technology print and its lightweight yet durable. The phone case came in a beautiful gift wrap.{Item AU$26.96+ Shipping $10.79 =$35.07.}
I hope you guys can support local independent designer shops & help creative people to continue with their passionate and make the world a more beautiful, better and arty place.
