At unCommon Thread we are building a socially responsible eCommerce platform for connected niche marketplaces, based on an already established user base from the Handmade-only Marketplace iCraftGifts.com. The new platform will have the ability to scale new marketplaces beyond just crafting both quickly and cost effectively. We define “socially responsible platform” by our commitments to increasing economic opportunities for our members, reducing poverty, women's economic empowerment, helping to build sustainable communities, giving back to community sellers and through the preservation of culture.
