Handmade Artists Leave Virtual Shops for Local Store
Distinct Designers boutique brings mission of websites like Etsy.com -- where artists can sell their work -- offline.
Los Angeles designers of jewelry, clothes, stationery, and other handcrafted goods don't need to choose between the remoteness of peddling their wares online and the high cost of opening their own store. Instead, they have begun to offer their creations in Distinct Designers, the boutique owned by Jon Moreland and Megan Sullivan that opened at 10943 Pico Blvd. in March.
In this video, Sullivan discusses her customers and why she finds the business rewarding.
