Department Store is an online global marketplace curated by ourselves, People of Print. With over 250 independent designers, brands, artists and collectives, the store boasts an assortment of beautifully made prints, homewares, accessories and independent publications. All of our vendors are hand selected by a member of our team, and now make up a valuable community of creatives.

Best Seller — Egle Zvirblyte

Hand Printed Cushion — Josie Molloy

Currently, our store works on a drop-ship system meaning vendors manage and ship their own items. This allows creatives from all around the world to be a part of our marketplace, selling as much or little as they wish, with the flexibility to update their products at any given time. At this moment in time, we do not purchase wholesale items.

We’re always looking for new talent to join Department Store, and this is where you come into play. We want your work! To be specific, we’re looking for:

• Interesting, quality work — Items that are not mass produced, we want quality independent work.

• Good photography — We find with e-commerce that images are everything. The better the images, the better the item will sell as these will be used for promotion and other marketing materials.

• New Items — We’re always on the lookout for new products, you may have a cool lamp or chair that you want to sell. Get in touch we might want it! Note: please look at our store before you apply so you can get a feel of what we sell already. Also look at our best sellers, they’ll give you a clue about what our customers love.

• Knowledge and respect of copyright — We ask all our vendors who join that their work has been created by themselves and is not a copy of similar creation of another artists work, name, brand, design or product. Any person who conflicts with this will be removed from the store immediately.

Publication — PANTA

Ceramics — Tilly Toth
