2025-08-02T18:00:28+02:00

Cooperatives are more than just businesses.

They are communities owned and run by the people who make, use, or support the work. That means shared decision making, shared values, and a shared commitment to doing things differently.

When you support a cooperative like the Artisans Cooperative, you are not just buying a product, you are investing in real artists.

Here’s a quick trick for spotting truly handmade goods 🧵✨

Try a reverse image search! Just tap the little camera icon in Google’s search bar and paste in the image link—whether it’s from Etsy, our marketplace, or anywhere else. If that same item pops up on sites like Amazon or Walmart, it might not be the real deal.

Be a savvy shopper and support real makers!
