The Indie Collective
Crafty Connoisseurs. Indie Proprietresses. Decorating Divas. We are that and more.

The Indie Collective is a showcase of some of the most talented and creative designers we could find. We know how much work goes into running a craft business, so we wanted to help spread the word about all the great shops out there.

Our Beginnings
Established in September 2004, this collective of independently-owned businesses originated as a holiday shopping directory.  Our original collective contained approximately 30 shops, and has continued to grow over the past few years to include one of the largest listings of artists & artisans creating handcrafted goods, as well as craft suppliers, designer-centric blogs & many other facets of the creative arts community.

Many of our designers also create limited edition or one-of-a-kind items, meaning you are not only shopping for gifts that are as unique as the designers themselves. You can also enjoy the extra attention and TLC that goes into the handcrafted wares our designers create.

Our Beliefs
We believe in inspiration. We believe in taking chances. We believe in originality. And we believe in spreading the word about others who work 24-7, 365 days a year to bring their unique wares to an audience held captive by mass-produced, warehouse-assembled merchandise.

Thank you for visiting our website. We truly appreciate your support of the independent business community.
