Literally the Best Shop on the Internet: Shoppe

March 10, 2014

Here at Messy Nessy Chic– that includes you, dear reader– we are a curious bunch aren’t we? Always looking for the authentic and the unique, the homemade and the well-travelled things of this earth. And when we decide to bring an object into our homes, it damn well better have a good story. In short, we’re difficult people to shop for. But there’s a place that seems to get where we’re coming from…

Who doesn’t love finding that rare local market with independent artisans, craftsmen and designers making wonderful things that speak to you instantly? Shoppe is like that except it’s a local market on the internet, with independent makers from all over America. You can search by item genre or if you’re keen to see what your local artisans are up to, you can search inspiring goods by area.

This neat little video celebrating the makers of the authentic, the unique and the curious should help you get a feel for the place…

So behind every product Shoppe sells, you can imagine someone with hard-worked hands in a messy apron and sitting in a workshop filled with paints and tools and scraps all around.

I went through the entire website and picked out a few MessyNessyChic favourites…
