Thank you Craft Gossip!
Posted by onYippee! Coriandr gets its first mention outside in the wide world.
A big (and slightly belated) thank you to the people at Craft Gossip for mentioning us on their Indie Crafts blog, we’ve had a lot of interest in what’s happening here as a result.
You can see their post here.
Walter goes-a-rambling
Posted by on
Meet Walter. He likes abseiling and rhubarb crumble, and isn’t one bit shy about making friends.
Paper toys have to be my favourite thing right now. I love the idea that anyone with a printer, a pair of scissors, and some glue can make some really cool toys in no time at all. If you’ve not seen it yet, check out Paper Forest, plenty of papery goodness to keep you occupied!
Scissors + glue + you = Walter

Calling all crafters!
Posted by onOur launch month is looming and there’s much to do, but it’s all for nothing without some handmade prettiness! We need to hear from any crafters interested in selling online, to make sure Coriandr’s shelves aren’t bare when we go live in October.
To show our appreciation, anyone that joins before launch will not only get free listings during beta, but won’t be charged any commission for a month! Also, join early and we’ll give you special access to the site so you can setup shop and get everything ready and waiting for your buyers when we launch in October!
To join, sign-up for our newsletter up on the right or send an email to .
Coriandr – handmade goodness!
Posted by onCoriandr is an online marketplace for handmade goodies; it costs nothing to join, nothing to become a seller, nothing to run your shop, and nothing to list an item (during beta). The only cost is a 5% commission when you make a sale.
Interested? We’d love to hear from you then! You can contact us at
Jewellery and paintings and craft, oh my!
Posted by onI stumbled upon Etsy for the first time about a year ago and I have to say, I thought it was fantastic! I’d never seen so much creative, handmade stuff packed into one place, never mind on what is essentially an ecommerce site! My joy was short-lived though, because I was researching to see if I was the only one to think an online craft marketplace was a great idea…
Oh well. After a brief pause for biscuits and tea, I decided that maybe competition wasn’t a bad thing and Coriandr was born!
