A magical place! Housed in an old historic building right on the corner of Main Street, the perfect location! The Local Collective is a one-stop spot for anyone who wants to get a feel for the region and also spend their money locally. There is a wide variety of crafts, body products, household wares, jewelry, in addition to classes and workshops, and information about local services and offerings. The space is well organized and has a homey vibe, they’ve done an excellent job gathering local talent and highlighting the creativity and resourcefulness of area artisans!

One of my favorite retail shops in hartford. They have a unique collection of 3D printed characters/items. I found my favorite insulated cup here! Fun items!

It was my first time stopping in just recently and I love everything about it! As an artist myself I so appreciate the prices not being changed and making it possible for artists to get the recognition and pay they deserve for the work they put in to their craft. Everything is so cute and there truly is something for everybody. Vibes were great and I didn’t catch his name but the man working the register when I came in was delightful and very kind. I’m sure everyone who works here is the same but I only had the pleasure of meeting him recently! Based on the other reviews Kayla is the owner and I’d love to meet her she seems lovely and seems like she really cares about her store and she should be proud of it too! Loved the toy box by the registers with toys to take for kids and it felt like a beautiful community experience.

Nice friendly store with a large variety of hand/home made items. Unique and lovely. I took a class today and created a copper dragonfly.
