Do you still take non-wholesale orders?
Do you still take non-wholesale orders?
Yes! Ginger and Thread is still on Etsy, and we don’t plan on going anywhere. While this website is designed for wholesale and bulk orders, Etsy is where I connect with everyday shoppers who just want a single, special piece.
