what people are saying about cosa verde

"[cosa verde is] a great new spin on the marketplace model creating a resource for handmakers to gain valuable exposure for their work while connecting them with eco-conscious consumers...My favorite part of the site has to be their special search function—you can browse goods by categories like "organic," "recyclable," "cruelty-free" and more."
—Modish

"cosa verde... [is] a carefully curated portal to shops offering handmade products that are also crafted with sustainability in mind....It’s a really fun and easy way to find loads of handmade goods that are also good for the earth."
—Miss Malaprop

"The entire site is beautifully laid out and actually a lot of fun to navigate. I especially love the unique ways to search. The "browse better" category allows any eco-savvy buyer to locate items that are organic, recyclable, cruelty free, etc."
—Chakra Pennywhistle

"I've had a great experience so far on Cosa Verde! I've had sales as a result of people seeing my shop there and Liz and Jeff are great!"
—Copabananas

"I finally set up shop and was very very happy at how easy it was to do. Excuse me for sounding like some bad testimonial now, but I've tried other online marketplaces that were clunky and not user-friendly [and] I just gave up after a while. Cosa Verde is beautiful to use!"
—La Pomme

"I am so in love with how user-friendly the interface is for managing my shop at cosaverde. It's so smooth and quick, it makes me want to keep my shop updated. Your interface is without a doubt the best one out there. I particularly love the import items feature and the ability to move around our photos the way we want. It's brilliant!"

"The site is well designed and the interface is slick (love the one-page shop set up!)"
—SweetBeets

"I love Cosa Verde because it’s a scaled down version of Etsy (sometimes I find Etsy to be way too overwhelming) and much easier to browse through."
—Green Grechen

"I've been longing for a curated site that separates the crafty wheat from the green-washed chaff. It's as if Liz Grotyohann and Jeff Fein-Worton of Cosa Verde answered my mental pleas. "

"If you've been struggling to search through Etsy to find eco-friendly vendors, this is your new favorite resource! Browsing categories include organic, reusable, repurposed, recycable, conflict-free, cruelty-free, and green sources."
—Dolan Geiman

"...the sellers are juried so that you know the products are well designed, eco-friendly & well photographed. It makes for a nice shopping experience....like you don't have to sift through all that not so great stuff looking for the super great stuff."
—Sparkle Power

"I love the laid back, non-preachy vibe of the site that gives you the feeling that you are browsing in a comfy main street shop."
—The Broken Plate Pendant Company

"What I love about the site is that it's really easy to find what you're looking for. Too easy. Dangerously easy."
—Mindful Momma

"As a seller, I really love the cosa verde website. The layout, your 'mission', the 'browse better' categories, the drag and drop feature in the shop, the simplicity of the entire process and site... You've set a standard which similar sites should aim for!"
—OneWomanStudio

"I am loving the Cosa Verde attitude... simple, clean graphics, a supportive business model with no hidden, ulterior motives and a green ethic to boot! If only this was the business model embraced in this world, we would live in a different, better place! I definitely want to support this effort."
