10 of the Best Etsy Shops with Minimalist Products
Get inspired by these beautiful Etsy shops with minimalist products and great product photos!
One of the things I like about my daily routine here at Around.io is going through my Etsy feed.
And that’s because I love little, beautiful handmade products. I am not a creator myself but I like to think of myself as a ‘curator’ (you’ll have to decide if that’s okay — here’s my favorites on Etsy).
Starting this week, I’ll try to publish my Etsy shop observations resulting from the shops I stumble on, from the items I favorite, from the interactions I have on Etsy etc.
The plan is to inspire you — the Etsy seller — to craft your shop with as much care and creativity as you craft your products.
This week, we start with a generic list: 10 Best Etsy Shops with minimalist products.
When I stumbled on this shop, it was love at first sight. Rob’s wood carvings evoke a sense of natural balance, some sort of a peaceful rhythm.
They’re crafted to perfection. I once read his interview on some blog and his love for wood and kitchen spoons shone through.
Frankly, I’d never seen flattened jewelry designs till I saw some products from Benu Made.
And it’s the most beautiful piece of minimalist jewelry I’ve seen on Etsy (or elsewhere) so far. Sure, down this list, you’ll find some more jewelry shops but they are here for a different reason.
Benu Made’s shop too (the banner image, the photos, the text) is very minimalist. And I like that very much.
Sofia’s tagline for her shop is “porcelain aesthetics for happy people”. Such a beautiful word to use to describe her craft product — aesthetics.
These porcelain items are truly aesthetic, minimalist, and beautiful.
It would sound too cheesy to say this but I think the beautiful porcelain sets will put a smile on your face. They did on mine.
Nirwa, I believe, is a very successful shop on Etsy and for good reason.
The first thing you should notice at Nirwa is the choice of beautiful pastel-like colors on the pillow cover designs. I feel that it takes a very sensible designer to know what colors go where and Asli (Nirwa’s owner) is precisely that.
Gagan, in Hindi, means sky. This shop’s tagline is Aviation Furniture/Lighting/Accents. I can’t link their super-minimalist, aesthetic lamps to aviation but I can definitely see how they remind me of Braun’s attitude towards minimalism.
It’s probably no wonder that their photos are fantastic given that they are a design studio, but there are some cool lessons to be learnt there.
Yes, this is the other handmade jewelry shop I was talking about before.
Elena (of Belesas) makes mostly gemstone-embedded rings, necklaces and earrings. At first look they won’t look any different from countless other Etsy handmade jewelry items on the store but closer inspection reveals many beautiful imprints of Elena.
I can’t quite put my finger to it but there’s something very captivating about the jewelry in this shop. It’s a mixture of being simple and yet appealing. They’re not fancy, mind you, but they’re definitely a class apart.
I have no clue about the lineup at this shop till I realized I liked this shop’s beautiful photographs. It was only then that I decided to check out each of the items.
Anastasia makes packaging accessories. They’re so beautiful that I think someone who receives gifts with this packaging would be delighted just by the packaging!
Her Layered nursery prints are my favorites.
One more handmade jeweler on our list.
LimonBijoux’s gemstones. That’s what drew me to the shop and ultimately made me favorite it. I like other jewelry from this shop too but it’s the gemstones that catch my attention every time.
They’re somehow very minimal in their cuts and polish. And then Limon adds some tiny touches to the jewelry that accentuates the beauty of it. Like the star in this one.
I’m not sure if I’d buy a miniature ceramic house but I can sure stare at them for long.
Besides ceramic, Sani also makes beaded bookmarks that are beautiful alternatives to boring old flat cards. In fact, this is the right type of bookmark that makes for great gifts.
Besides the word play (Frau Klara = frauklarer!), I think Klara is also a really talented minimalist.
Once again, I’m reminded of the straight lines of Braun products when I look at Klara’s planters. The way she has designed these geometric planters is just amazing.
About me: I am a researcher and writer @ around.io, which is a cool social media scheduler for online shop owners / sellers. But most of my time is taken away by beautiful products on Etsy. You should check out Around.io if you’re selling on Etsy.
