Virtual Expo

The Alternative Trade Show

Discover handcrafted wholesale from juried North American artists, all from the comfort of your home or shop. Browse, connect and order online throughout seven days of the IndieMe Virtual Expo.

The Basics

Welcome to the IndieMe Virtual Expo. IndieMe created the first 100% handcrafted virtual wholesale show in 2020, giving retailers and artists another way to connect without the cost and limitations of a traditional trade show.

Shop when it works for you, from home, your store or your office. Explore participating artists by showcase, search by category or state, discover new work and place wholesale orders directly through IndieMe.

Every product you discover on IndieMe is handcrafted, so you can spend your time sourcing rather than sorting through mass-produced goods. That is the IndieMe difference.

Expo Highlights

Welcome to the
14th IndieMe Virtual Expo

IndieMe created the first 100% handcrafted Virtual Expo in 2020 when our industry needed a new way for buyers and makers to stay connected. What began as a response to extraordinary circumstances has become another way for independent retailers to source handcrafted wholesale.

Browse participating artists throughout the Expo, explore individual showcases, discover new collections and shop on your own schedule.

Expo Growth

Buyers and artists continue to tell us the Expo is just what the industry needs. We agree. When our members succeed, we succeed.

Only Handcrafted

Spend your time discovering handcrafted rather than weeding through mass-produced goods. IndieMe is built specifically for wholesale handcrafted sourcing.

Who We Are

IndieMe connects retailers with juried North American artists across jewelry, gifts, fashion accessories, home décor, body and wellness, art and more.
