Name: Retro Handmade

Profile: Retro Handmade is a group of Etsy sellers who specialize in handmade vintage-inspired items that resemble things from the past or create things that have retro vibe. They are brand-new handmade items, not items that we all have had for a long time, which would consider vintage. If you use vintage beads and fabrics to make things with, then that is perfectly fine. We hope to introduce Etsy sellers who would like to bring retro mainstream to the world and share their love of all retro and funky.

We encourage our members to participate as much as possible.

To join if your Etsy shop:
- Has no more than 50% vintage items since this team is all about
retro inspired handmade items.
- Is four months old after joined Etsy.
- Have a plenty of retro inspired handmade items.
- Is an active shop.
