Cosa Verde logo Do you upcycle? Source sustainable materials? Are an all around green crafting guru? Well Cosa Verde is the new online marketplace for you.

Created by Liz Grotyohann and Jeff Fein-Worton who like the Earth. In their words, they think it’s a nice place and would like to keep it nice for their future kids. By promoting handmade and Earth-friendly products they hope to help in that process.

Looking for the perfect organic t-shirt? Search Cosa Verde by item type, such as clothing or accessories. Narrow your search further by using green categories such as organic, green sources, and cruelty-free. What emerges is a listing of items and a definition of what it means to be labeled organic or cruelty-free.

Have the perfect organic t-shirt for sale? Apply for a shop with Cosa Verde. You’ll need an existing online shop and a spiffy application since the site is juried. Once approved it is free to list three items, then a subscription fee, based on how many items you want to list.

Having a juried marketplace ensures that good green products are easily searchable and available to sellers. Your shop won’t get lost in the crowd.

Cosa Verde also walks the nice walk. For each new shop that is opened, they plant 10 trees through Trees for the Future and 10% of subscription fees are donated to the charity of your choice.

I’ve already found my perfect organic t-shirt, where’s yours?
