Handmade in the Bay is the brainchild of Maree Cooper, who ran a similar venture in Tauranga. When she moved back to Napier, she decided to open the Emerson Street collective . The number of contributors has risen steadily and the shop now boasts at least 50 on its books.
Their aim is to give people an affordable venue to promote and sell their crafts. Open Monday-Saturday and during holiday weekends, Sundays as well.
Pop in and see Maree and all of her treasures for that one of a kind gift or special decor item for your home!
