History And Existence

DaWanda has been online since early 2006, and has now become the single largest homemade products marketplace on the web in Germany. At least 4.3 million users are logged on to the site, and more than 4.4 million items have been sold.

Other Versions And Launch

While the DaWanda website is also available in 7 languages (English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Polish) versions for international users, the site has prepared to launch subsidiary sites in summer 2012.

Apart from a Dutch, Spanish and Polish platform, an Italian focal point is being launched as well, with its startup in Italy. DaWanda is originally based in Berlin, and faces the most competition from Etsy.

Creative And Inspirational

Whether you’re an artist by profession or a stay-at-home mom, DaWanda offers you the platform to showcase your creativity with handmade products to make some money or simply inspire others.

Some artists have even gained popularity with the help of DaWanda, like the TappoBag brand which participated in the Paris Fashion Week recently.
