Are you wondering what’s going to be popular this year?
Actually, I run as far away from trends as possible. If you base your business on trends that’s all you’ll be…fleeting. But that’s just me!
You don’t need to follow trends however, it can be useful to know what the current ones are to get more inspiration for your handmade business.
According to Retailing Insight Magazine, here are the top 17 trends for 2017:
