Etsy Wholesale Open Call – Last Week to Enter!

It’s no secret that we love collaborating with artists to create new Nod products. We’re always so inspired by artists because they challenge us to reimagine what kids products can be.  We’re constantly on the lookout for new artists, often finding them via Etsy, blogs, Instagram and Pinterest. Which is why we are so excited to partner with Etsy for Etsy Wholesale Open Call.

Etsy Open Call is a way for Etsy sellers to pitch their lines to large retailers, including us, Nordstrom, Lou&Grey, Walker Art Museum and Clementine. Entries are open until June 4th, so head over to the Etsy Wholesale blog to learn how to apply. Hint: it involves Instagram, where we’re always finding inspiration. Chosen Etsy sellers will be able to pitch their lines to the retailers and a Refinery29 editor at the Etsy Headquarters in Brooklyn, NY this July.To celebrate Etsy Open Call, designer Krissy Callahan of Earth Cadets sat down with Stefanie Cohn Ricciardi, Nod’s soft-goods buyer, to talk about successful partnerships, what retailers are looking for and offer feedback and advice. A few pictures of the meeting are below and you can read all about it in the Etsy Seller Handbook.
