Are there any good alternatives to Etsy that Beehaw likes? (programming.dev)

I love the idea of supporting small business and quality, handcrafted items. But Etsy seems to be more focused on drop shipping and it becomes a hassle to investigate every item I purchase to determine whether it ships from China or not.

Does anyone know of any alternatives with a good reputation?

A while ago a friend at the time told me about Folksy, I have no idea how ethical or undropshippy it is but it might be good?

https://folksy.com

Edit: looks like they don't allow vintage or mass manufactured work: https://blog.folksy.com/about so perhaps better than etsy in that regard?
