While our roving VoTW reporter is out attending sample sales, studio visits and checking in on the general goings-on about town, we thought we’d pay quick homage to the DIY movement beyond the ETSY and the anti-ETSY-ers out there to a rock-solid crew out there that basically espouses all the glories of Brooklyn flea market finds. Know design*sponge? Of course you do. But just how well do you know all that they can do for you. They exist to discover, to hunt, to find and to share. You – indie designers, emerging artists, hardcore crafters, vintage thrillists – are what they want and are looking for. Get on their radar. They’re looking for people like you.
