IndieMe juried handcrafted wholesale marketplace

Handcrafted Wholesale Since 1998

IndieMe was founded in 1998 as Wholesalecrafts.com, one of the early online wholesale resources created specifically for handcrafted products. Jacqueline Adamany, a former IndieMe artist and longtime member of the handcrafted industry, purchased the company in 2020. Today, IndieMe is woman-owned, independently operated, and still focused entirely on handcrafted wholesale.

Retailers use IndieMe to discover distinctive pottery, jewelry, glass, fiber, wood, home décor, gifts, and other handcrafted collections from juried American and Canadian artists. Artists build direct wholesale relationships, keep 100% of their orders, and remain in control of their payments, policies, and fulfillment.

Handcrafted deserves a home of its own. That is what IndieMe continues to provide.

The name IndieMe reflects the independent businesses at the heart of our community. Our artists are building creative businesses, and our buyers are creating stores with character, originality, and a meaningful connection to the people behind the products.

  • Our History

    Founded in 1998 as Wholesalecrafts.com, IndieMe has served the handcrafted wholesale industry for more than 25 years. Jacqueline Adamany purchased the company in 2020, bringing her experience as an artist, retailer, marketer, educator, and industry writer to its next chapter.

  • Our Mission

    IndieMe exists to strengthen handcrafted wholesale by helping artists build sustainable businesses and giving retailers a trusted place to discover work with a real maker, process, and story behind it.

The IndieMe Collective

The IndieMe Collective brings together several connected ways to support the handcrafted industry: the IndieMe Marketplace, a juried wholesale platform; the IndieMe Virtual Expo, a biannual online buying event; IndieMe Academy, self-paced business education for artists; and Shop American Handcrafted, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on education, visibility, advocacy, and opportunity for American artists.

Together, these initiatives help artists strengthen their businesses, give buyers more ways to discover handcrafted work, and keep authentic American handcraft visible and valued.
