Why Liyann exists
In Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana and across the Caribbean, women and men have been shaping, weaving, firing and carving for generations. That know-how travels through markets, between neighbours, by word of mouth — and often stops there.
Liyann was built to give it reach. Not to turn craft into a mass-market product, but so that every piece leaves with its story, its maker's name and the land it came from.
That's why we don't settle for a catalogue. We certify, we publish portraits, we map the workshops, we relay the events. A marketplace sells. Liyann passes something on.
Know-how cannot be imported. It is passed on, lived, and proven — in every piece, every time.
The project
Your storefront is only the front door. Behind it, a whole system works to make your craft known.
Our craft certification. Every application is reviewed by hand, an answer comes within 72h, and applying is always free. The badge then appears on all your listings.
Our editorial team tells artisans' stories: the path, the workshop, the gestures. Content that follows you far beyond a product page.
Workshops, markets, cultural sites: Liyann maps the Caribbean and places its artisans on it. Customers find you by place, too.
Festivals, craft markets, open days — your dates are relayed in the calendar the whole community follows.
Share your new pieces and your behind-the-scenes straight with the community, without depending on a social network.
Curated monthly moments that put a selection of creations in the full spotlight.

Transparency
We'd rather set them out now, before you have to ask.
No sign-up fee, no mandatory subscription. You only pay when you sell.
Calculated on the amount excluding shipping. The current rate is given to you at sign-up and stays visible in your seller dashboard.
The contract can be ended with 30 days' notice, without penalty. Your creations and your data remain yours.
We read every application by hand. It's slower than automatic approval, but it's what gives this place its value.
Signing up is free and takes less than 5 minutes. What you build next is your story — carrying it is our job.
