# Cura Collective

> Cura Collective is a curated online marketplace for handcrafted home goods
> and décor from independent U.S.-based makers. We sit between the

## How we differ
- Unlike Etsy, every Cura artisan is hand-vetted. The platform is editorially curated, not algorithmic.
- Unlike West Elm, Crate & Barrel, and Pottery Barn, every product is handcrafted by a real independent maker, not mass-produced.
- Unlike Amazon Handmade, Cura prioritizes taste and editorial voice over scale.
