10118994Promoting & Preserving Craft Industries via Artsn, a marketplace for high-value bespoke goodsClosedCollaborative R&DInnovate UKArtsn's purpose it to **Build a community marketplace for high-value bespoke goods to be commissioned and sold**. Why does the world need Artsn? * Because mass-production comes with supply chain disruption & eco harm. * Current retail prioritises profit over product innovation & customer satisfaction. * Consciously crafted, made-to-last, intimate shopping experiences should be available to the masses at fairer prices. It should not just be reserved for the 0.01% of luxury buyers. * Before the industrial revolution, nearly all items were made to last by skilled craftsmen & women. * Let's bring back ethical consumerism and localised supply chains! How will Artsn work? * Artsn will be a mobile application that functions as a marketplace. It will connect shoppers who want bespoke goods (E.g. graduation gifts, new furniture, made-to-measure clothing) to expert artisans (e.g. carpenters, seamstresses, goldsmiths, upholsterers) who can craft their wishes. Who Artsn is best suited for? _Shopper Types:_ * Frequent Luxury Buyers * Members of Creative Industry * Aspirational Shoppers * Life-Event Purchasers _Seller Typers:_ * Independent Boutiques & Studios * Solo Artisans Shoppers and Artisans benefit from Artsn.
