THE MAKERS Marketplace.
The ALOT Collective is a rotating curation of regional artisans, and it is open to apply to.
Open every day, 11 AM to 11 PM
If you make furniture, lighting, ceramics, textiles, or anything else made by hand, we give your work a physical home in the cafe and a listing customers can scan, read, and buy from on the spot.
You stay the seller. We hold display units in-store and ship direct from you to the customer, so you are not handing over your stock or your margins to a middleman. Commercial terms and payouts are confirmed directly with you in the vendor agreement.
Applying takes a few minutes: sign in, tell us about your brand, add your pieces with photos and pricing, and our team reviews and gets back to you.
What we are looking for
Furniture, lighting, ceramics, textiles, or any other handmade object for the home. If you make it yourself, or run a small studio that does, we want to see it.
How it works, start to finish
Sign in with Google. Tell us about your brand. Add each piece with photos, its price, and its dimensions. Review your application and submit.
Our team reviews it and reaches out. Once a piece is approved, you deliver a display unit to the cafe yourself and it goes on the floor with a scannable listing. Any order that comes in ships direct from you to the customer.
What you keep
You stay the seller of your own work. We hold a display unit in the cafe, not your stock, and orders ship straight from you to the customer.
Commercial terms and payouts are confirmed directly with you in the vendor agreement, not stated here.
What we need from you
Two to seven photos per piece, a retail price greater than zero, and dimensions or material where they apply.
A GST number if you have one, though it is optional. And you deliver each display unit to the cafe yourself; we do not arrange pickup.

Questions
Do I need a GST number to apply?
No. It is asked for but optional.
Who sets the retail price?
You do, when you add the piece.
Who ships the order to the customer?
You do, direct. We hold a display unit in the cafe; we do not hold your stock.
Can I apply with just one product?
Yes. Add as many or as few pieces as you like, and you can always add more later.
Can I take a listing down later?
Yes, you can withdraw a submitted listing yourself at any time from your dashboard.
