Etsy: Made in Canada Toronto RETURNS!

We're thrilled to announce that we're hosting our 6th Etsy: Made in Canada Toronto show!  

 

The Toronto Etsy Street Team and 416 Hustlers Toronto are pairing up once again to host our annual handmade & vintage show as part of Etsy's pan-Canadian extravaganza, with more than 30 simultaneous shows in more than 30 cities across the country! Last year's show attracted more than 6000 shoppers, eager to buy. Our show attracted a line-up a full three hours prior to opening. Many sellers reported that it had been their most successful single day of selling all year, or of all time! This application is open to all Canadian handmade or vintage Etsy vendors. We especially encourage our team members to apply, but this show is the exception in that it is open to vendors who are not part of TEST. You just have to have an Etsy shop! Want to take part in this awesome opportunity, but you don't sell on Etsy? No problem! We are specifically seeking newbie sellers! Just take 15 minutes and launch your new shop today!

OPEN THE ETSY: MADE IN CANADA TAB AND APPLY NOW!

DEADLINE: MAY 3rd. Don't miss it!

(If you have any trouble applying via the blog page you can open the form and apply here)

Etsy: Made in Canada Toronto 2017 maps!

We have 125 displays at this year's Etsy: Made in Canada show in the airy, MaRS Discovery District Atrium! This year's show features a new Fashion Foyer with direct access from College St, where you will find contemporary and vintage fashion and accessories. The Vintage Nook is returning this year for all you great vintage finds. Stretching from the University Avenue entrance in the west, through the Heritage Atrium to the east end of the building which can be accessed via Elizabeth St, you'll also find your favourite, local, handmade bodycare purveyors, fine artists, food vendors, graphic design and stationary, housewares, jewellery, vendors of items for kids and babies, items for pets, knit and crochet ware, fashion accessories, photography and the show's sponsors and partners.  

Plan to come early for a chance at one of the fabled Etsy: Made in Canada swag bags! Plan your route today and make sure you visit all your favourites.

A note, on finding your way: In general, the odd numbered tables and displays are on the north (College St) side, and even numbered ones on the south (TGH) side. There are multiple entrances from University Avenue, College St, Elizabeth St and directly underground from Toronto General Hospital and the Queen's Park subway station! The building is accessible, with wheelchair lifts, multiple elevators and ramps on the outside of the building any of which can be used to negotiate the one stairway between west side (tables 1 through 44) and east side (tables 45 through 125) of the Atrium.
