AOW’s Insider Membership is a retailer's go-to source for exquisite wholesale artisan brands and handmade finds. It’s also for those who appreciate travel, craft, culture, and design. Founder Annie O. Waterman travels far and wide to discover and curate artisan brands that speak of quality, expert craftsmanship, and provenance.
Members get exclusive access to top artisan (wholesale) finds, trends, industry insights, and a curated selection of hand-selected monthly picks. Annie travels the world, from Mexico to Egypt to Portugal, and shares what catches her eye, bringing new and unusual artisan finds and industry insights to keep your brand or shop ahead of the competition. This membership connects buyers and artisans, and Annie's goal is ultimately to help support the artisan sector.
