Etsy

Etsy, Inc. is a US-based e-commerce company that sells handmade and vintage items as well as creative supplies. These items can be found in a variety of places, including jewelry, bags, garments, home decor, furniture, toys, art, and craft supplies and equipment, to name a few.

To be deemed vintage, an item must be at least 20 years old. The site continues in the tradition of open craft fairs by providing merchants with their own storefronts where they can list their items for US $0.20 per item. Etsy was founded in 2005 with the goal of connecting small, independent artists, craftsmen, and collectors with customers looking for one-of-a-kind gifts, collectibles, and things.

According to VentureBeat, just two years after its launch, the site had nearly half a million members and made $26 million in revenue. By 2018, the e-commerce company will have 2 million sellers and 50 million products, according to Yahoo. Etsy is an online marketplace where individuals can make, sell, buy, and collect one-of-a-kind items from all around the world. It's also a collection of people dedicated to improving the lives of small enterprises, individuals, and the environment.
