When you want to look for fun and beautiful handmade gifts online, chances are that the name Etsy often comes up. The global marketplace for unique and creative goods, this Saturday, will host #TheEtsyCollective, to build brand awareness and expand the seller community. 

It's a series of events that aims to travels across India, to curate a platform for artists, creative entrepreneurs, small-scale designer, hobbyists and homemakers to collaborate,  connect and network with like-minded people.

The Bengaluru edition of the collective, which is by invitation or registation only, will see a workshop hosted by sellers Vanita and Sumit of BleUcoin, a city-based Etsy store that makes tile, wall, floor and stair decals in interesting and colourful patterns. There will also be a Q&A session and a seller interaction.
