I want to intoduce to you today a marketplace venue called Hatch. At https://www.hatch.co Not hatch.com…lol
Hatch is a small, exclusive marketplace for handmade items. They say on their site, “We seek out makers who take pride in their creations and want customers to feel proud owning them.

Hatch

Every item on Hatch is made by people who are creators, designers, artists, and makers first; sellers second. Craftsmanship trumps the bottom line. Process is just as important as the end result. We are looking for young creative businesses, which are looking to grow. They may be a one-person operation now, but their aspirations run larger. Hatch can help you get there.”
