The Emporium Story

How the Emporium Works

A curated marketplace where every item tells a story and every purchase makes a difference to a real maker.

1

Step One

We Seek Out Extraordinary Makers

We travel the craft fairs, browse the markets and scour the studios of the East Midlands to find makers whose work genuinely stops you in your tracks. Quality, originality and a real human story behind every piece.

  • Local First. Makers within 50 miles of Shepshed, Leicestershire.
  • Handmade Only. Every item made by the maker themselves — no mass production, no outsourcing.
  • Story-Led. We only work with makers who can tell you exactly how and why they make what they make.
2

Step Two

Makers Keep Their Independence

We never ask a maker to give up their Etsy shop, their market stall or their Instagram following. Andreas Emporium is an additional platform — a new audience, not a replacement for what they’ve already built.

  • No Exclusivity. Keep all your existing sales channels.
  • Fair Commission. Just 15% — no listing fees, no monthly subscriptions.
  • You Set the Price. Full pricing control stays with the maker.
  • We Handle Discovery. Marketing, SEO and customer relations managed for you.

Step Three

You Find Exactly What You’re Looking For

Every item is photographed beautifully, described honestly and linked directly to its maker. When you buy from Andreas Emporium, you know exactly who made your piece, where they are, and how to reach them for a bespoke version.

  • Curated Collections. Browseable by category, occasion, maker or price.
  • Bespoke Orders. Commission a personalised piece directly through the platform.
  • Gift with a Story. Every purchase comes with the maker’s story card.

Made with Love

Every item is handmade by an independent maker who has chosen their craft as their vocation, not their side hustle.

Community First

We’re building a community of makers and buyers who support each other — and the local economy — with every transaction.

Quality Guaranteed

Every maker on the platform has been personally vetted. If something isn’t right, we make it right — no questions asked.

Sustainably Made

Local sourcing, minimal packaging, no air freight. Beautiful things that don’t cost the earth — literally.
