FIRST UK ETSY POP-UP SHOP OPENS IN LONDON THIS XMAS

We all love shopping at Etsy.com – the online marketplace for handmade goods and vintage items. Founded in New York City in 2005, it allows people around the world to buy and sell unique goods directly from each other – anything from food to furniture.

And this Christmas, Etsy.com is opening its first pop-up shopping experience in the UK.

'Etsy House' will open for three days from Friday 5th December to Sunday 7th December at 5 Great Newport Street, Covent Garden, from 10am - 8pm on Friday and Saturday, and from 12pm - 6pm on Sunday. There will be a curated selection of the best handmade and vintage gifts that Etsy has to offer from over 100 independent creative businesses across the UK.

With handmade gifts, home decorations, jewellery, stationery and much more for sale, Etsy House will combine the hands-on discovery and surprise of shopping in a store with the care, attention to detail and convenience customers have come to expect from shopping on Etsy.com.

Over the weekend of Etsy House, visitors will be able to watch live crafting by Etsy artisans, take part in workshops led by Etsy designer-makers and have gifts customised by makers live in store.

Happy shopping!
