They’re showcasing their incredible crafts, including bracelets, bath bombs, soap, crocheted goodies, Perler bead magnets/ornaments, earrings, and much more.

  • What is The Etsy Market?

    What is The Etsy Market?

    The Etsy Market is series of virtual shopping events created by Etsy that pop up across different cities around the world. Over the past 2 years, with Etsy’s help, Vancouver Etsy Co has hosted 4 virtual markets!

    This year, #theetsymarket will look a bit different. It will span over the course of 2 weeks instead of 2 days and will focus on the lookbook rather than a separate event page as the jump off point for shopping!

    The Etsy Market 2022 Dates

    • May 6 to 20 (applications close April 15)
    • July 15 to 29 (applications close June 1)
    • November 11 to 26 (applications close Oct 1)

    • Etsy is trusted & well known for quality sellers/products
    • There has been a substantial increase in Canadians shopping online since the onset of the pandemic that is expected to continue
    • Exposure to a new customer base – concentrated locally (but also to a wider audience)
