Guide to
Independent California Shopping
***
This Guide is my labor of love: my way of promoting fair trade and the local & indie designer
& artisan community.
*Shoppers Let your fingers do the walking and use this Guide to browse
hundreds of independent designers (which are listed by category), stores (listed by city),
online shops, and fairs & sales events (also listed by city)
*Independent Designers: Use this Guide to find shops & sales
events to sell your creations and networkwith others in the community
*Shop owners, event promoters, & bloggers: Use this Guide to find
fresh, exciting new talent to represent & review
Hope you find this Guide helpful, and remember to Shop Independent!

love, Amy Cools

This Guide is compiled freely, independently, and entirely without compensation, is juried by the author, and all information contained
is offered free to the public. While this Guide contains online shops & blogs from anywhere, it contains only listings for California
designers, brick & mortar shops, & events, because I can't compile a listing for everywhere, it would get too huge! I do hope, however,
that this will inspire others to compile their own Guide for other areas. No solicitation or requests for special paid listings please.
