Coming Soon: The Etsy Market x NYHC
This year has been a challenging one for us all, so we’re thrilled to report that we’ve managed to find a silver lining for the upcoming holidays. The NY Handmade Collective is excited to announce that we are hosting The Etsy Market on November 28 and 29, 2020!
Usually, the NY Handmade Collective hosts the most anticipated local holiday market in New York City (and, let’s face it, there are LOTS of them). The crowds are exciting! People wait in line to enter! It’s quite festive, but it also means that you only get to experience it if you’re in town. This year, with Etsy’s help, we’re taking the whole show online—so no matter where you are, you’re local!
Our market will be live the weekend of Small Business Saturday, November 28 and 29. And while we are looking forward to celebrating small that weekend, we think every day should be Small Business Saturday. The NY Handmade Collective is made up of over 200 small and micro businesses, all within 90 minutes of New York City. Our members range from new sellers to those who have been active for years. One thing is for sure, none of us have seen a year affect our bottom lines quite like 2020. But, that’s where our collective energy helps build support for one another and band together for this new virtual market. And you win with one stop shopping for your whole holiday gift list.
For The Etsy Market, we have almost 70 of our team members participating. You will find truly great and unique gifts from their shops. Even more, since we’re virtual, we can bring you so much more than we could in person. We’re putting together ways for you to meet our makers, see where they work, and hear the stories behind the new products you love. Plus, we’re working on more surprises you won’t want to miss! By the end, you’ll have meaningful gifts to give and the knowledge that you supported local makers and communities this season.
So get ready—you won’t have to schlep bags, wander through bad weather, or struggle through a crowd. Grab a mug of a hot beverage, put on your favorite slippers, and join us for a weekend with your favorite Etsy New York vendors on November 28 and 29.
