This project has been a dream of mine for years and it thrills
me to no end to welcome you to the debut of the D*S Shop.
I’ve always wanted to have a place where I could showcase
affordable, limited-edition designs by my favorite independent
artists; I feel strongly about supporting the fantastic community
of indie designers making their own goods by hand. Every piece
you see in the D*S Shop was designed exclusively for the shop
in a limited-edition run and will sell for no more than $100
(before shipping). In addition, all D*S Shop goods are available
for shipping across the globe. I wanted this shop to help make
great design available to everyone everywhere, so by keeping
prices low and offering international shipping I hope to do
just that.
In addition, 10% of the site’s advertising
revenue will go to charity every month. Charities will rotate
each month so you can check the charity section of the site
to find out more about the group I’ll be highlighting
any given month. And last but certainly not least, artists
will take home 100% of their profits (D*S is not taking
any cut on the products). This site is about giving artists
a place to sell their work and support their small business,
not about turning a profit for D*S.
So thank you for visiting the D*S Shop- stay tuned for fresh
products and designers at the beginning of every month and a
special holiday section this December.
In addition, I’d like to thank everyone
who helped make this shop a reality: my faithful web designer,
Kate Klapfish of Three
Square Design, all of the talented designers who designed
products for the shop, TinyShowcase.com
for inspiring me to create a place for affordable design on
the web and my friends and family who put up with me while I
was trying to get all of this together. Thank you!
