UWMA Collective

Our hand-picked community of merchants live in cities, towns and villages that rely primarily on local foot-traffic and tourism. Until We Meet Again, or UWMA Culture multivendor sales platform provides these merchants an easy way to onboard, continue their relationships with shoppers, secure sales that would otherwise have been impossible, while simultaneously gaining access to new prospective shoppers, both online and in person.

UWMA's commitment to artistry, local tradition, cultural crafts, handmade goods, and bespoke local services has guided our decision to exclusively offer storefronts hosted by actual artists, craftsmen and women and merchants with physical stores that can be visited by appointment or during store hours. Handmade, small batch, limited reproductions and one-of-a-kind offerings by original artists, craftsmen and -women are welcome here. 

A warm welcome is highly valued by both the giver and the receiver, especially when venturing into a new country or exploring a new store!
Every merchant or artisan you personally onboard will benefit from your endorsement, ensuring they are visited in the future through live-stream shopping experiences or whenever a UWMA traveler decides to include their store in their travel itinerary. At UWMA, we're in the business of creating lasting bonds of friendship around the world.

At UWMA, we believe everyone's bottom line is important: yours, ours the merchant's and the local community's. This is why we employ the traditional mark-up system instead of the typical method of taking a precious (and difficult to predict!) percentage of the profits in the "clicks and views' payment system.  In addition, we facilitate live-streamed group shopping events and cultural exhibitions to support local sales.  And finally, we provide robust travel services and itinerary planning to encourage global tourism and personal visits to the shops we host online.
