Handmade DFW

01/15/2026

We’re rebranding to Handmade DFW Collective!

Nearly two decades ago we started as Etsy Dallas, supporting local Etsy sellers.

As our community grew beyond Etsy, we became Dallas M.A.D.E.

But we quickly realized that our makers, artists, and small businesses span across North Texas, so we’re stepping into a name that truly fits.

We are now Handmade DFW Collective!
Same heart. Same mission.
Just more room for our growing handmade community.
