I've been to this particular store a handful of times and every time I go I find the perfect present!! This particular weekend I wanted to get something for my niece who is graduating high school as well as turning 18!! I found a really cute, simple necklace that was pretty yet unique along with some really nice earrings! Not exactly a matching set, but I bought them to not match. My niece loved them!! Easy $60 present and it was unique the lady behind the counter, even wrapped it in a cute little mesh bag. I had tissue paper at home so I added that to the little rustic brown bag to have a pop-up color and overall I will definitely be back!! read more

Makers Market - Love their jewelry and cute odds and ends for The House! - Home Decor Near Me - San Jose, California

Very friendly, knowledgeable and informative staff. That's why I bought a bracelet from her. There are open markets throughout the year in the bay area for these talented artists to sell their products. The bracelet I bought was quite unique in my eyes, silver intertwined with copper, which also supposedly is good for preventing arthritis. Other Jewelries were Interesting and unique, different than the jewelries I've seen in other places. Would like to come back and check out more stuff. I am very happy to have found my bracelet piece and it has become my favorite. Will continue to support local artisans. Highly recommend Makers Market. read more

Makers Market - Love this bracelet. - Home Decor Near Me - San Jose, California

Went here a few times prior to this Christmas season. Found some nice gifts (felt overpriced but I was in a pinch for time) and love that everything is supposedly local artisan-level products. My issue has been the attitude of the one specific person who was working each time I went. Pushy as heck every time, following me around and talking at my back as I look at products- if I wasn't in need of gifts I would've walked out immediately. I don't need to be hounded as I shop. Couldn't answer simple questions based on what she tried to explain to me: Me looking at a resin platter. Salesgirl: it's so pretty isn't it? Me: it is but it is uneven when laid flat and the handles are different on each side. Her: Oh it can be "warmed up and flattened so it isn't uneven" if u "leave it in the car" Me: umm huh? Her as she quickly walks away: yeah or heat it up in the oven and like press down on it on the countertop. Me: Ok so what temp can it be safely heated to? Her from behind the cash wrap: just heat it idk. So do you want it or not? Me: no thanks for that price ($200) I would want to know what "heated" means. Sounds like it isn't very possible to make it lay flat without knowing the specifics. Her: well then don't buy it. Me: yeah i definitely won't. I expected a nice reply like "Oh let me check with the Maker and get back to you" or "sorry I don't exactly know what i'm saying but our return policy is.. and here is how to contact the Maker." Still bought about $300+ of products on that visit but wrote this review in my head before leaving as she shot me eye daggers as she rang us up. Won't be in again if she is working. Or maybe ever...made it all very suspect. read more

Cute little shop and I just love browsing their jewelry section. They are always friendly and welcoming each time I come to the store. I purchased a necklace here that is really good for wearing on its own or for layering. read more

Sandy was great and helped me pick out some earrings to take back home to SoCal. I love the small artisan community represented here! The California made clothing is so cool and fashionable!! They have a men's section with shaving kits, hats and cologne and an alcoholic section as well!! A+ store on Santana Row read more

I was a long time artist at the craft show that Makers Market holds my daughter and I would sell together. I make journals and she hand paints press on nails. When the company changed the director my daughter was told she could no longer sell her press on nails because the new director didn't think it was art. This was very hurtful and unprofessional. We were ignored when we responded to their email. read more

Very sweet shop with good location. Perfect location for gift findings. Enjoyed the shop that's giving platform for makers and artists to display their work. read more

Makers Market - Home Decor Near Me - San Jose, California

What a nice little shop to stop at; one of the only shops on Santana Row I have any interest in exploring. The staff is always so nice and helpful, the selections are varied (from candies to a beard comb) and well organized (and so VERY reasonably priced ... almost shockingly so). The shelves are filled with some very unique offerings and there is lots to see despite the small size of the actual store. I'll be back again and again and again. read more

The products here are great, but honestly the service here is always off putting. No one greets you, to the point I've often felt there was no one in the space when I've come in. The times I've bought things, the employees have come off annoyed. Feels strange to have to ask to purchase your item when they're standing at the check out area and they seem bothered to check you out. Would rather buy straight from the artists than this store, but it's nice to check out when I pass by. 3 stars cause the store and products are nice, just pretty poor service that makes me not go out or my way to stop in. read more

This store was a lot of fun! What makes it unique is all the CA artisans. I snagged a cool ring, tank top & necklace. Sandy was super helpful & I truly enjoyed my shopping experience. Total find! read more

Makers Market - The ring! Oh my goodness the ring! :) - Home Decor Near Me - San Jose, California

I have been in this cute little shop twice now and I just love browsing! The staff is super helpful and friendly. I LOVE their lavender incense and candle selection- it keeps me coming back. They have an array of different items- really cute towels, unique jewelry, clothing- etc I love that they support and sell local American made businesses. It's really fun to discover who made the product. In terms of parking, it's the row, so there is street parking and garages, this is at the very end of Santana row. read more

Makers Market - Really cute and clever items to be found at this shop! - Home Decor Near Me - San Jose, California

Whenever possible, I try to support small, local businesses and my favorite in the area is Maker's Market. With four locations around the Bay Area {San Jose, Napa, Mill Valley and Walnut Creek}, you are sure to find a spot locally to check out this amazing store. My go-to is the location at Santana Row - With several large parking structures, you will not have an issue finding a complimentary parking space - And if you want to feel fancy, Santana Row also has valet parking available. The team has taken every Covid-19 precaution once re-opening the store after the initial shut down. They are only allowing a certain number of patrons into the store at one time {per county guidelines}, they have a sanitizing station upon entering that must be used as well as masks worn at all times by everyone. The team is very welcoming, friendly and always give service with a smile - And they always give amazing compliments {which is sure to make anyone's day}. Every product featured inside each Maker's Market store is made by an artist, a craftsman, a painter, a jewelry maker, etc {each with small businesses located around the U.S.} - And each week, the website showcases an uber talented "Featured Designer". I've purchased everything from dainty necklaces {which if you know me, I can never have enough dainty necklaces}, earrings, amazingly delicious hand-crafted candles, cards for every occasion as well as gorgeous succulents. And I have my eye on this beautiful macrame wall hanging {cough, cough.. Hubs.. Are you reading this?!}. You are sure to find something for everyone on your list - And if you just can't decide.. Gift Cards are also available. Pro Tip - Sign up for the newsletter on their website {https://makersmarket.us} to receive a $10 credit on your next order. read more

IMHO Kim, the manager warmly greeted us and invited us in before we even stepped the store! Makers Market is a cool Santana Row store filled with unique American-made gifts made by local crafts persons and artisans, that are actually affordable! I love their hand-made jewelry. Previously I found a beautiful druzy wristlet here, and today I purchased a beautiful druzy ring. Go check it out and walk out with something special for yourself and someone else! read more

A very sweet shop that focuses on small business owners, makers, and crafters. The store itself is very small but has a lot of options ranging from candles, seasonal items (drink mixes, etc.), jewelry, clothing, and self care products. I did not end up something, but my partner ended up getting this very beautiful small ring. Overall, prices were very reasonable. Looking at other reviews, I do agree that it would be great to know a bit more about the creators of the products. Can be something as simple as a small handwritten card next to their products or some bios on the walls. Overall, I'm very glad this store is supporting great creators/makers! read more

This is a great store! They really respect Makers and small business owners and they really do a lot for their community. I'm super thankful for the founder and I'm happy to have this store in my neighborhood. My only suggestion is that I'd love to hear more about the Makers. What's the crafting process look like? Why did they use choose the materials that they used in the process? Things like that. I feel like information like this builds the customers/Maker relationship. read more

Love that this store supports local Artisans and small businesses. Unique gift items and beautiful finds. Not as expensive as you think for lots of high quality handmade items. From bath soaks to scarves and don't forget to browse the jewelry and clothing. I can always find a present here (for myself, LOL!). Love that it's at Santana Row so I can treat myself to lunch/dinner afterwards. read more

What a great boutique shop for tasteful, up-cycled, and precious accessories, apparel, and home goods! My boyfriend and I stopped in as we were strolling down Santana Row and I was instantly drawn to the delicate genuine-silver-and-gold rings and he spent a lot of time with the up-cycled leather duffel bags. The sales associates were super knowledgeable about the products in the store and were able to look up for me exactly what metals and stones were in the rings I was interested in buying. They also do farmers markets and events at each location once a month. The Santana Row location is their flagship, but they have other locations around the Bay Area like Napa. Pick up a postcard with the dates with a coupon for $10 off $50, which you can also apply on the spot at this location. Very satisfied with my shopping experience here and already falling in love with the rings I purchased! read more

I came to visit Santana Row after a really long time due to the pandemic and I noticed this store. I walked in and was greeted by Jay. I loved the inventory especially the jewelry. Jay was extremely helpful and helped me find a couple of items which I love. I will definitely be back and tell my family about this wonderful store. Great customer service and very welcoming team! read more

This is a craft fair, not to be confused to the store with same name (although probably they behind the scenes). I have already attended several of these seasonal arts&crafts fairs and I am always pretty pleased with the quality of the products sold as well as the aesthetics of the plaza that have an European flair to it. It is not too big, so it is not overwhelming and super crowded, which makes it very pleasant for both the tourists and locals alike. You will find from local jewelers to essential oils, to henna designers to embroidery artists that create awesome handmade work that takes hours to finish a piece for incredible prices. A beautiful way to spend a Saturday morning. read more

I was excited to check out this store today because I was shopping for a gift for my sisters birthday. Unfortunately, the employee behind the counter wasn't wearing a mask, which made me feel uncomfortable and so I left. There is an indoor mask mandate in Santa Clara County currently so it struck me as odd that this wasn't being followed. It's unfortunate that there are some places that aren't following the public safety guidelines, especially given the current surge in covid cases. I probably won't go back. read more

Oh, I just love this place so much! It's a bit over my budget, but I so appreciate any space that is offered to small businesses and up and coming artists at the same time. Makers Market has a wonderful array of unique jewelry pieces, bags, home decor, and other items that you just can't find in big businesses or large store chains. Upon entering the store and looking at items you are interested in, you may take a look at the price tag and think, "AH" that is so expensive! But, when you take into account the importance of small business and providing fair trade and fair wages to individuals who are sharing their craft, it allll makes sense! It was nice to see recently that another Makers Market opened up at Valley Fair. I think it is a breath of fresh air that goes alongside big name business establishments. I hope there continues to be a rise of showing for these shops. Thank you for sharing your space in community! read more

Had a fine shopping experience... But, I used my credit card through square to pay and they took it as an invitation to sign me up to their mailing list. Mailing lists should always be opt-in not opt-out. Don't SPAM your customers. It's rude and creepy. I never gave you my email, and I didn't sign up for your list. ------------- Owner, Suzy, contacted me to address my concerns. Although I think it's imprudent of them to use a marketing (email) service that doesn't given them control of their email lists, I've updated my rating to reflect her responsiveness and acknowledgment of the issue. I hope they change marketing systems so other folks don't get SPAM like I did. read more

Cute shop where everything is American made. There are candles, plants, hats, etc. Some of the things are a bit over my budget but I love that Santana Row has a place that sells things that are made locally. read more

Manager reached out to me and said she wanted to hear my side... and then invited me in for a further conversation + phone tag. Still no honest offer of any way to make it right and a waste of time. Again, do not recommend purchasing jewelry here. read more

I visited this store for the first time ever on Sept. 1st around 1130am. I was browsing through the shop and saw the sales person behind the counter on a call. I then came to an area that had some unique camping cookbooks and was going to buy one, however the employee was still on that same call and not once did he acknowledge me. I was disgusted with the fact that he couldn't tear himself away from his call for 5 seconds. I won't be walking back into that store again. It's too bad because they had alot of cool items. read more

I'm so happy I found this shop! I took my new sister in law to buy her some unique handmade jewelry. We fell in love with the variety of styles and quality of the pieces. The store representative (Heath) was very friendly and attentive, answered our questions with expertise. My sister in law adores the natural stone pieces we picked out for her. So many breautiful things here, great place to find beautifully crafted handmade goods. Thank you so much! read more

Hadn't been out in a while, and so decided to explore Santana Row because of all the new shops I heard had opened up. Stumbled into Makers, and was warmly greeted by Jay. Then went on to look around the store, and asked what Makers was all about. Love! Love! Love! That Jay was so genuine and informative!! Love that Makers is all about supporting CA locals!! Ended up walking out with a shirt! Great quality! And great customer service! Jay was super awesome! read more

I came into this store today originally to look for a piece by Coco Chispa. Online, it had said they were a vendor for her, but I really didn't go in there with high hopes just because I know how quickly her items sell when she has available items for purchase. As I expected they had already sold out of her items at this specific location, but the associate behind the register was kind enough to see if any of the other locations still had her items in stock. Aside from my failed search, the layout of the store was organized and put together, the environment was calm, and the store associate was genuinely nice. Definitely will be back again! read more

Came in for the first time and Jays customer service was amazing, I was super stressed about shopping for gifts this yr for my family, but Jay was able to help me find gifts for everyone on my list and made it super easy for me. Thanks! read more

Beware of return policy -- you won't get your money back once you pay for any item in this store. I was back the very next day to return a small item and to my surprise learned (as it usually happens -- after the fact), that store doesn't do returns ,( Only store credit. Not cool for a store in such a location with ambition. Just my 2 cents. read more

Maker's Market is a great addition to Santana Row. It's so nice to be able to shop for high quality products made by local artisans. It's like shopping for CA-made candles/jewelry/bags on Etsy, but in real life! read more

I was so pleasantly surprised to find this store while wondering around Santana Row. Everything is hand made by American artisans/craftspersons. I was just looking and found a bracelet I really liked but it did not fit my wrist. So I asked the nice person behind the counter if they had a larger version. They did not in that store but he would contact the artist and see what he could find. Two days later I got a call that it was in and came by to pick it up. I really appreciate hand crafted items and good customer service. This store does not disappoint. If you are looking for something unique for yourself or as a gift for a special person try Maker's Market. They also have Maker craft events if you are willing to make your own. read more

I love this place!! Beautiful products, clearly curated with care. It's my go-to when I'm looking for a special present. Heath is so helpful and knowledgeable. It's nice to know there's a store that still cares about customer service. read more

I love this store! Makers Market has a wide range of handcrafted goods, all made in the USA. Select the perfect gift for yourself or someone else, the selection includes children's toys, hand crafted soaps and bath treasures, leather goods, women's jewelry, men's wallets, tie clips and cuff links, as well as kitchenware: salad servers, cheese knives, pottery and linen. I encourage you to visit their popup shop on the weekends, center court, across from Left Bank. The featured artisans have additional products not found on the shops. xoxo read more

I've purchased a few of Jessica Wertz' pieces, one of the makers, and they are amazing. I love the way they feel in my hands, the generous size of the coffee mugs, and the beautiful designs.
