#shoplocal
This is a mission driven and passion-based project. The goals:
- To make shopping for vintage, antique and other used furniture from local independent businesses easier — easier for both consumers and shop keepers.
- To increase the foot traffic to brick and mortar retail, which make our streets and community interesting and rich in character.
- To promote using restored, reclaimed, and upcycled furniture to create beautiful and comfortable home interiors.
- To lower the environmental impact of home furnishing by limiting the need to harvest wood; decreasing the need for worldwide shipping; and lowering furniture replacement needs that result from using cheap and lower quality building materials common to new affordable furniture.
As of early 2020, ATTIC is available for fourteen major U.S. cities/regions. It indexes furniture, home decor and fashion products from more than 1,000 indie stores, dealers and boutiques. Learn more about ATTIC and see it in action for yourself.
