The term Indie comes from the abbreviation of “independent”.

The indie design movement is made up of independent designers, artists and crafters who design and make a wide array of products without being part of large, industrialized businesses.

They are supported by a growing number of indie shoppers who are seeking niche and often handmade products as opposed to those mass-produced by corporations. Such products may include jewellery and other art, accessories, ceramics, clothing, glass, metalwork, furniture, cosmetics and much more.

Indie designers often sell their items directly to buyers by way of craft fairs, street markets and a variety of online marketplaces, such as Etsy, Mintd,DaWanda and iCraft.
