I wanted to give an extra-special congratulations and high five to Grace over at Design*Sponge for finally launching her dream project: An online shop where she can showcase and sell affordable, limited-edition designs by her favorite independent artists. Every piece in the D*S Shop is designed exclusively for the shop in a limited run– and get this, no item will sell for more than $100. 10% of the site’s advertising revenue goes to a charity every month and 100% of the sales (minus shipping) will go directly to the artist or designer. That’s right, no middle man, no mark up– pure design appreciation. “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.” Congratulations spongie and bravo for stepping to the plate and truly doing this the right way!
