UAE-based Etsy: Shop Local.

Etsy is an online community where artisans, vintage lovers, designers, artists and creatives can set up a ‘virtual market stall’ full of everything they love. Many Etsy sellers also do custom pieces, adding that extra special vibe to every item.

Etsy sellers come from all around the world, but I always prefer to shop ‘local’. It is nice to save on shipping times and costs, yes, but most of all it is great to get a real feel for the place where I am currently living and support local trades.
So, I asked myself: how are the Etsy shops based in UAE?
Well, I was not disappointed: they are great!

Here are the wonderful shops I found with a quick search, but if you know of any other I might have missed, please let me know in the comments below.
