ETSY

Etsy, Inc

An online marketplace where independent artisans, crafters, and vintage sellers from dozens of countries list handmade goods, from jewelry and ceramics to personalized gifts, alongside the fashion-resale app Depop. Founded in 2005 in a Brooklyn apartment, it grew out of founder Rob Kalin's wish for a place where small makers could sell their work. The name "Etsy" reportedly came from the Italian phrase "eh, sì" ("oh, yes"), which Kalin heard while watching the Fellini film 8½.
