New and Noteworthy: Poppytalk Handmade Online Virtual Street Market

CasaSugar — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 09:30:00 -0700

Poppytalk goes live today with Poppytalk Handmade, the first online virtual street market, curated by Poppytalk. The market will last one month, and will showcase handmade and vintage goods from 75 international emerging designers and artists. This month's designers come from everywhere from Paris to Israel, South Africa, the US, Canada, England, and beyond. The market will offer details and enlarged views of the products, and will also direct customers to the vendor's online shop (be it etsy, mintd, dawanda, or other) with just the click of a "buy" button. I can feel my wallet getting lighter already!
