Our Story

Why Vendors Choose
Local Crafters Market

From the Pearl of the Orient Seas to Vancouver with 21 years under our belts.
Over 5,000 businesses trust us to drive their success through the years.

For over two decades, our team has worked to provide independent sellers with opportunities to showcase their products and expand their customer base.

We know just how hard it is to start a business with high overhead costs, long-term lease commitments and the uncertainty of retail make it hard for entrepreneurs to take that next step. That is why we made Local Crafters Market, a community built to support local businesses at every stage of your journey.

The local business landscape is changing, and now more than ever, customers want to support small, independent brands.

That can be your brand.

We’re here to bridge the gap between talented makers and the shoppers who value quality, handmade, and locally crafted goods.

Spots are limited and interest is high. If you’re ready to grow your business, apply today.
