Calling All Kits Makers: QE Home Artisans’ Weekend Is Looking for You

Calling All Kits Makers: QE Home Artisans’ Weekend Is Looking for You

Local artisans, this one is tailor-made for you. QE Home is hosting its Artisans’ Weekend on November 7 and 8, and our very own West Broadway store is one of the participating locations. They are looking for local makers to set up in-store and sell directly to shoppers, with no participation fee and no commission on sales.

QE Home is a Canadian-owned, women-led, B Corp certified company, and the weekend is all about bringing local businesses and customers together for the holiday season. Think less traditional craft fair, more curated lineup of interesting local brands.

Who should apply

QE Home is looking for local and Canadian-owned independent businesses with unique, well-designed products that are made, designed, or meaningfully developed by the owner. Giftable items that complement a home, lifestyle, and holiday shopping experience are a great fit. You do not need a huge social media following, just great products and enthusiasm for spreading the word to your own customers.
