Make It Comes to Vancouver

Make It is a retail show devoted to creating positive opportunities for artists, crafters and designers. On the flip side, Make It is a shopping event that gives conscious Vancouverites the opportunity to buy unique, ethically made goods from top artisans from all over Western Canada. The vibe at the show is funky, hip and urban’Ķvery different from you traditional granny craft show! Music is spun by top local DJs and there will be drinks and tasty treats to be enjoyed. Make It is about appreciating creativity, supporting entrepreneurs, and giving mindful shoppers an alternative to the mall. Over 55 exhibitors will be selling anything from art, clothing, home décor and accessories.

The inspiration for Make It occurred when designer Jenna Herbut (www.bootyflybags.com) and her brother Chandler Herbut (www.oleoriginals.com) found it hard to persuade friends to come visit them at traditional craft fairs. Doilies, pinecone art and pressed flower bookmarks were not their cup of tea and they felt that if the shows were more fun and exciting it would be easier to get peers to stop by. Jenna and Chandler knew the importance of branding and positioning so they decided to give the typical craft show a much needed marketing makeover! Make It is a modern fashion, art and design market for anyone who loves style, individuality and everything fabulous! Craft show + party = Make It

To better the community, Make It will feature a silent auction at the show with proceeds going to the BC Cancer Foundation. Exhibitors and sponsors have generously donated items to this worthy cause.

First 25 shoppers in the door each day will receive a free valuable goodie bag!
