About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Le Marché is different: Vendors do not have to volunteer time or “work the front desk”. We have dedicated staff that opens the doors and serves customers. We also provide a point of sale and ticketing system that makes checkout faster and more efficient for shoppers and vendors alike.
Our Quality: To ensure quality, Artists and Makers will be juried. We are focusing on handmade art and goods from Michigan artists.
Our Balance: We want to have a balanced mix of artists and makers, to make the sales and shopping experience better, and to guarantee more eyes on your work.
Our Style: Le Marché is an upscale artisan market created to highlight Michigan Artists and Makers. Our market space has been created specifically to show off our vendor’s work. The space is a monotone palette, black and white, and this theme is consistent from the sign- to the staff uniforms, and the shopping bags.
Marketing for You: We will be featuring our vendors throughout the month on social media, including Facebook and Instagram to promote sales. Our sales staff are also available to merchandise your space as you sell items if desired.
Our Story
Le Marché was created for local artists and makers to have a space where they can showcase their art and talents. Every booth is unique to each artist and maker. Lori Vinckier, the founder of Le Marché, always had a love for arts, crafts, and retail, which led her to create a space that brought these passions together. She found inspiration for Le Marché by attending different marketplaces and developing her own vision. The name Le Marché translates from French to English as "The Market" and is described as "an artisan experience". Every piece in the store is unique to the maker and has its own story between enthusiast and artist.
