Perfectly imperfect. Just like handmade should be.

Every brushstroke.
Every stitch.
Every grain of timber.
Every piece of clay.

No two handmade creations are ever exactly the same—and that's exactly the point.

At Ōtautahi Made, we believe there's something special about owning a piece that wasn't made by the thousands. Something created by real hands, with real care, by someone who genuinely loves what they do.

That's why we're passionate about curating a market filled with makers who design, create and craft their own work. It's about celebrating creativity, supporting local businesses, and connecting you with the people behind every piece.

This Spring, spend the day discovering over 180 curated local makers at Te Pae and experience what handmade really feels like.

A beautifully made beanie.
Glass mushrooms that catch the light.
Ceramics inspired by your favourite stories.
Timber crafted to celebrate the beauty of natural grain.
Jewellery that's completely one of a kind.

No mass production.
No two stalls the same.
Just hundreds of makers sharing what they love creating.

One market. Hundreds of stories.

From handcrafted ceramics and colourful homewares to artisan accessories, handmade treats and one-of-a-kind creations, every stall at Ōtautahi Made represents someone's passion, creativity and countless hours of work.

No two makers are the same, and that's exactly how we like it.

This Spring, spend the day wandering, discovering and meeting the people behind the products. You never know what you'll take home—but we can almost guarantee it'll have a story worth telling.

Some things can't be shipped.

You can order almost anything online.

But you can't package up the conversation with the person who spent hours making it.
You can't ship the excitement of discovering something you didn't know you needed.
You can't replicate the feeling of supporting someone from your own community.

That's what Ōtautahi Made is all about.

This Spring, discover over 180 curated local makers, hear their stories, and take home something with meaning.
