Etsy
Handmade goods site
Etsy is an online marketplace focused on handmade, vintage, and craft items.
Sellers are typically independent artisans and small-scale vendors rather than large retailers.
The platform is known for unique or personalized goods: I found a custom wedding gift on Etsy, She sells her jewelry on Etsy.
The name has become loosely associated with a handcrafted aesthetic.
