What Does "Indie-Made" Mean?
Three things.
First, Indie-Made means we take personal pride in what we do. It means when you purchase an item from us, you can expect great service from responsive people. Your order is packed with care and arrives in mint condition. We talk to our patrons and acknowledge special needs with action. That's what "being Human" is about!
Indie-Made also means we develop and create merchandise based on our own original ideas. We put lots of time and effort into what we do and it shows. This means there's not much we give away for free considering the costs involved. The artifacts we create have the highest production values we can afford and anything we give away is still meaningful and valuable.
Last but not least, Indie-Made merchandise should do as good by the environment as possible. We don't control paper prices and oil revenues, but we try to use as many recyclable materials as possible and we're always looking for ways to cut out steps in the production process such as working with local vendors, reducing print processes and creating pieces in small print runs so that we don't have lots of stock lying around. This is a serious ongoing effort on our part.
Yup, that's Indie-Made to us.
