1, 2, 3... Why Shop Small?

1. Good Stuff

By shopping small you get to buy beautiful & interesting products. Forget mass, throwaway consumption; shopping small is all about high quality & artisan goods to treasure for years to come. Production is small batch meaning you get something unique & original. BIG love to that!

2. Good Vibes

You're also supporting an indie trader or small business, something which you can feel good about & something that is even more valuable in these challenging times. Is it all about them doing a happy dance? No, you're also supporting your local economy & community. But the dance is a bonus, right?

3. Good Reasons

Last but not least... Shopping small puts YOU in control of buying locally, ethically & in an environmentally friendly way as you have a direct insight into where, what you buy, comes from. You can shop small and say NO to profit over people and NO to sacrificing the wonderful world we live in.
