EntrepeTeens is brought to you by Featsy... Featsy is a tailormade online platform for flea and craft market fans. Read all about how Featsy came about ...
Markets have long been the heart and soul of trade, craft and commerce, connecting buyers and sellers into thriving communities, from ancient villages to vast trade routes across the globe. Bustling bazaars and vibrant city squares are alive with the symbiotic exchange of goods and money. And they continue to inspire creators and makers to showcase their talents and, quite literally, make a living from their creations.
In our fast-paced world of generic mass production, where the lowest prices dictate the mass consumer market, we’ve discovered that a wonderfully authentic retail revolution is gaining a steady and passionate following. They are of discerning buyers and talented e-ntrepreneurs with a return to craftsmanship, genuine quality, connected community and sustainability.
Dotted throughout our suburbs and cities, flea and craft markets are blooming! From locally sourced produce to lovingly crafted creations. In addition these markets provide opportunities for connection, collaboration and trade for creators, entrepreneurs and treasure-hunting market magpies alike.
Knitting traditional trade and innovative tech together
Despite the hordes of online shopping options punting all of the same mass-produced products, the human heart continues to seek out the timelessness of tradition. Those special, one-of-a-kind and personalised creations made by people passionate about their art and craft.
It is from this heartfelt human longing for the true and authentic that Featsy was born. To build an always-open, happy, and supportive online flea and craft e-market. Which celebrates creative expression, the entrepreneurial spirit and sustainable fair trade by harnessing the exciting opportunities that technology provides.
