Don't just take our word for it.
Folksy has worked for my handmade jewellery, visitors to my 'shop' straight off, reasonable fees, very easy to use. If you want a platform to sell your handmade items, I thoroughly recommend Folksy.

I love the ethos of Folksy and their values. It feels like a real family spirit. I like the fact there's no unethical cheap imported products sold here. It's handcrafted work by local artists and makers. It's about supporting local and small businesses.

I love that Folksy focuses on true handmade work - it feels like a supportive community for creators, not just another marketplace. My shop views are growing every day and the whole experience has been very positive. A great place for small makers to share their work.

Ideal ethos that aligns with my small business of hand made, illustrated ceramic pieces. It was very clear how to start selling and communication was and is always prompt, clear and friendly.
