Etsy

Etsy is a shopping app that departs significantly from the classic model of large online stores. Here you won't find the cheapest product or the fastest shipping, but rather you will discover unique items, handmade or carefully curated. It is a space where small creators, artisans, and independent shops can sell their products directly, which turns every search into something closer to exploring a creative market than browsing a massive and uniform catalog.

Discover incredible products

In Etsy you will have the possibility to search for something specific, but often you will end up finding things you didn't have in mind, such as personalized decoration, vintage clothing, or handmade jewelry. The favorites and collections system will greatly help you organize everything that catches your attention, because it is easy to get lost among so many different options. Furthermore, the fact that many products can be customized, such as with engravings, sizes, or colors, adds extra value that you don't usually find in more conventional stores.

Connect with sellers

Another favorable point is the relationship with the vendors. Through the app, you will be able to communicate directly with whoever creates or sells the product, so you can resolve your doubts, request modifications, or simply better understand what you are buying. Thanks to this communication system, you will also be able to customize orders and design any modification you want to make to the order or delivery, for example. As you will also find artists, you will be free to make more specific requests, even if they are not available on Etsy.

My thoughts on Etsy

Something I found curious about Etsy is that it is a mix between an online store and a creative showcase that invites you to explore without rushing, rather than to buy impulsively. Also, you can find thousands of very nice products that you won't find anywhere else.

The best and the worst of Etsy

• What I liked the most is the number of unique and personalized products, along with the opportunity to support small creators from all over the world.

• What I liked least is that shipping times can vary quite a bit depending on the seller, and prices in some cases can be higher than in traditional stores due to the artisanal nature of the products.
