Hello, Buyers!
We hope that you are having a wonderful spring season, and are perhaps already looking towards your fall/winter buying season in just a couple of months.
We have been hosting our Handmade Gift Show in conjunction with our summer show for many years now. It’s a great way for vendors who want to grow their business to stay after the weekend is over and make some new contacts. Plus, we know so many of our buyers’ shops are closed on Mondays, so we hope that this date pattern works better for you too! We are excited to host this one-day event and would be overjoyed to see you there.
We love our vendors and feel like they offer unique products that have a fantastic story. Some of our old school vendors have gone on to be HUGE in the retail marketplace and Urban Craft Uprising is definitely a place to discover these new budding businesses. So come discover some new great makers, restock your shelves and make 2023 the best year yet!
This event is hosted each summer and winter, connecting vendors to shops in the PNW. We were thrilled to hear about all the great new accounts and orders that our vendors got at our recent January event, and are so looking forward to bringing it back again this July. We know this will be a great place for shop owners like yourselves to find some new handmade products for your stores, and to restock from your old favorites in time for the holiday season!

Our wholesale events have been a big hit with buyers in and around the Pacific Northwest, as it offers a dedicated shopping experience so you don’t have to fight through the crowds to have a conversation with our vendors.
