LAFAYETTE, CA – A new store celebrating American craftsmanship has opened its doors in Lafayette.
Founded by Suzy Ekman, the store is part of a movement to revive traditional American craftsmanship. Inspired by her childhood experiences exploring workshops and studios with her father in the Deep South, Ekman seeks to connect consumers with skilled makers who create meaningful, high-quality goods.
The new store is Maker’s Market. It was previously in Walnut Creek.
Makers Market, located at 3571 Mt. Diablo Boulevard, is dedicated to supporting U.S.-based artisans and offering handcrafted products made from leather, metal, glass, clay, textiles, and wood.
The store features products from artisans across the country, many of whom are second- or third-generation craftsmen. Each item carries a story, with the goal of fostering an appreciation for handmade goods in an era dominated by mass production. The market also prioritizes sustainability, with many products made from reclaimed, recycled, or ethically sourced materials.
A portion of sales from the shop supports local nonprofits affiliated with the makers.
For those seeking unique, locally crafted goods with a story behind them, Makers Market offers a carefully curated selection that honors American artistry and tradition.
