Four hundred years
of making.
Santa Fe has been a maker city since before the internet existed by centuries. We built this marketplace to honor that tradition.
The existing options were broken.
Etsy takes about 6.5% per transaction on top of payment processing fees — and it's increasingly a platform optimized for dropshippers, not the person who spent six hours setting a stone.
Facebook Marketplace has no trust infrastructure and zero support. Craigslist has bad UX and a reputation that keeps serious buyers away.
Local makers deserve a local marketplace with zero fees, real trust signals, and an experience that doesn't make you feel like you're competing with a factory in Guangzhou.
How we're different
We don't touch money. Transactions happen off-platform via Venmo, Zelle, or cash — the same way you'd buy something from a friend. We're not a payment processor. We're a listing and messaging platform. The message thread and the pinned invoice are the contract. That's it.
We're starting with the first first 25 makers, onboarding each one hands-on. We'll help you photograph your work, write your first listings, and understand what buyers in Santa Fe are looking for. It's slow on purpose. Trust takes time to build, and we'd rather do it right than fast.
Who built this
Neighbors. People who buy from makers at the Railyard Artisan Market and the Santa Fe Farmers Market. People who got tired of hearing about how another maker left Etsy because the fees weren't worth it anymore.
The platform runs on a free tier; the plan is to keep it that way. As the footer says: "Run on a shoestring out of love for the craft."
We're not trying to be the next Etsy. We're trying to be the marketplace that Santa Fe actually deserves — local, honest, and built by neighbors for neighbors.
