A fairer marketplace for UK makers, artists and small businesses · Launching 2027
A UK community marketplace in the making

Built to help real creative sellers get seen.

osky is a fairer UK marketplace for makers, artists and small creative businesses - and an easier way for buyers to find the real people behind the work.

Genuine sellers shouldn't be buried under mass-produced listings or low-effort, AI-generated slop. We're building a place where real creative work is easier to find, follow and trust.

No spam, just a confirmation email and a single notification when the shop is live!


What's a CIC, and why does it matter?

osky is being set up as a Community Interest Company.

A business with the community at its heart

A Community Interest Company (CIC) is a business that has to put its community first by law. Any surplus osky makes goes back into the mission - not into private pockets. An official "asset lock" keeps it that way, so the platform stays on the side of the people who use it.

Why it matters to you

When osky does well, sellers and buyers should feel it too. Surplus can be put back into lower seller costs, better tools and real support for independent makers. As a CIC, we also have to report each year on how we serve the community - so it's a promise we're held to, not just a slogan.
