Vendor Policy

 

We aim to create a diverse and exciting selection of products in our shop. To ensure that all vendors and their products align with our mission, we have established the following guidelines and policies for vendor applications:​​

Eligibility​

  • All vendors must be independent artists, makers, or small businesses producing handmade or locally crafted items.

  • We encourage a wide range of products, including but not limited to artwork, jewelry, home décor, candles, pottery, stationery, and accessories.

  • Size limitations: 3d work no larger than 18” in any direction, 2d prints no larger than 18” x 24”, and small framed works no larger than 11” x 14”.

Product Selection

  • We will review all applications on a rolling basis and select items that align with our store's aesthetic and values. We seek a diverse range of items that appeal to a wide audience while maintaining a cohesive look and feel throughout the shop.

  • If your items are selected, you will be contacted for further details.

Pricing and Payment

  • Vendors set their own retail prices, but we may offer guidance on pricing to ensure fair market value for both the artist and the customer.

  • A commission of 35% will be taken from each sale, which helps support operational costs, marketing, and payment processing fees.

  • Payments will be made monthly (if over $20), based on the total sales of your products, minus the commission.

​Display and Packaging

  • Products should be packaged appropriately for retail display. Works on paper should be sealed in plastic sleeves with a backing board (mat board or foamcore).

  • We will provide display space for your products. While we will strive to display items in the best possible way, the placement and organization of products are at the discretion of the shop.

Sales and Promotions

  • We actively promote our vendors and their products through our store’s marketing channels, including social media, newsletters, and in-store events. We encourage vendors to promote their involvement in our store on their own platforms as well.

  • Vendors may also be asked to participate in special events, such as art openings, pop-up shops, or seasonal promotions, to further engage with the community.

  • We look forward to collaborating with talented artists and makers who share our commitment to creativity, quality, and community! If you are ready to showcase your work and join our network of artists, please fill out the application form to get started.
