Independent Makers, Properly Vetted.
Makers worldwide and the boutiques that champion them
Makers worldwide and the boutiques that champion them
Söstter is a curated international marketplace for independent makers, designers and bricks-and-mortar boutiques, covering fashion, home, jewellery, beauty and lifestyle.
Which is a rather grand way of saying: we have gathered together a great many people who make things properly, and put them somewhere you can find them. Hand-thrown ceramics. Cloth cut by someone who knew what they were doing. Objects that have been decorated for no reason beyond the pleasure of it, and paper illustrated by an actual human with actual opinions. None of it came off a production line, and it rather shows.
The makers here are still playing with their materials, which is the bit that mass production never quite manages. Have a browse.

Faux Flowers, Done Properly.
All the drama of a grand arrangement, none of the weekly funeral when real ones give up on you. Realistic blooms that look, frankly, better than the real thing, and ask absolutely nothing of you in return.
Just Landed. Worth A Moment.
Fabulous pieces from our newest makers.
A new edit lands every Friday morning.

Maker Spotlight: Omaking
Properly cosy, quietly clever and made for slow mornings. Omaking’s lambswool slippers bring warmth, comfort and rather good design to life at home.
From the first coffee of the day to one last trip around the house, these are slippers you may be slightly reluctant to take off.
Every purchase supports a small business, an obsessive maker, or a properly considered boutique.
