Hobbsy is opening soon

We'll email you the moment we open.

What should we tell you about?

Makers can open a shop before the store opens to shoppers — so these are two different emails. Pick both if you're both.

We'll only email you about the launch, plus one follow-up if you don't open the first. Nothing else, and you can unsubscribe any time.

Nobody ever got inspired by a prompt

There's a moment every maker knows. The one where the clay does something unexpected under your hands. Where the grain of the wood suggests a shape you hadn't planned. Where the silver catches the light while you're soldering and you realize the piece is going somewhere better than the sketch on your bench.

For makers, this means competing against infinite, zero-effort inventory. Your hand-thrown ceramic mug sits next to a hundred AI-generated "product photos" of mugs that don't exist. Your original watercolor competes with generated images that took seconds to create and cost nothing to produce.

"Your hands made it. Our technology helps sell it."

That's the line, and we're on the maker's side of it.

What is Hobbsy?

Hobbsy is a marketplace for handmade, vintage, and human-crafted goods — built for makers who want their craft seen, and for buyers who want the real thing rather than something mass-produced.

It's for the potter, the woodworker, the jeweller, the vintage curator — anyone who makes or finds things by hand and wants a fair place to sell them. Low fees, no forced ads, and a hard line against AI-generated products.

Sell in more than one place — without selling it twice

If you make one of each thing, every extra storefront is another chance to sell the same piece twice. Hobbsy keeps one stock count across every place you sell: it sells anywhere, it comes down everywhere. That includes the craft fair — log the sale from your phone and it's gone from your listings before you've handed over the bag.
