Discover unique fashion from small shops

small-shops is a marketplace and shopping guide that helps you find unique products from small, local shops across Europe.

You can use the search bar to browse for keywords, apply filters, and navigate through the map.

To help you find products from a specific area, you can navigate through the map, and in the feed you will see products from that selected area. You can go to different cities or just zoom in to your current geolocation to find products nearby.

Browse the marketplace and select a product you love. You can then decide whether you want to get it shipped or if you want to pick it up in the shop.

You're buying directly from small, independent shop owners — not from a massive warehouse or large retailer. Every purchase supports a real local business.

We curate shops that prioritize sustainability — whether through ethical sourcing, eco-friendly materials, fair production, or supporting local craftsmanship. Each shop has its own sustainability story.

Yes, you can return all items within a minimum period of two weeks. Most shops even offer returns and exchanges for a longer period. Please check the product listing or contact the shop owner directly for details.

We support credit and debit card payments (e.g. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.) and are actively working on accepting Bitcoin to help you save on fees and offer more independent payment options.

We provide contact details for every shop on their profile pages. Moreover, you will see a text field during the order process so you can add special requests, and a chat will open after your order has been placed for additional communication. You can reach out with questions about products, sizing, shipping, or anything else.

small-shops is designed for small, independent, owner-run stores. If you sell unique, high-quality, or sustainable products, you're a great fit.

You can register your shop if it has a location within Europe.

You can create your profile yourself simply by registering and following a few easy steps. In just a few minutes, you are ready to sell.

If you use Shopify or WooCommerce, you can sync your products automatically. Alternatively, you can upload products manually by clicking on "Create new listing."

Currently we support Women's Fashion, Men's Fashion, and Home Decor. More categories may be added in the future.

Registration and all product listings are free. When items are sold, we charge a commission of 15% of the gross price.

You get paid periodically, once a month.

The platform is currently available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. You can switch your language using the language selector in the navigation bar.

Unlike large platforms, we focus exclusively on small, owner-run shops. There are no mass-produced goods here — every product has a story and a person behind it. Moreover, we not only help you shop online but also in person, keeping our beautiful city centres vibrant.
