Etsy is an online marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade. They built it for those consumers conscious of the true value of handmade goods and their creators, as well as to give all independent artists to sell their handmade items, to anyone from anywhere. The intention is to offer viable alternatives to mass-produced objects in the International marketplace, and to encourage consumers to be aware of the social and environmental implications of their purchases. The connection between producer and consumer has been lost. Etsy is created to help them reconnect, and swing the pendulum back to a time.
