Is Plukio a store like UncommonGoods?

No. UncommonGoods is a retailer: it selects products from makers and sells them to you itself. Plukio sells nothing — we index independent shops' own storefronts, and when you buy, you buy from the shop directly on its own website.

Does Plukio curate what's listed?

Not by taste. We index independent shops broadly and enforce a prohibited-items policy, but we don't pick winners — search, filters, and your own judgment do that. Every listing links to the shop's own store.

Is Plukio affiliated with UncommonGoods?

No. UncommonGoods is a registered trademark of Uncommon Goods LLC. Plukio is an independent service with no affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement; the name appears here only for comparison.

An honest caveat

Curation is real work, and UncommonGoods does it well — every item there was picked by a person. Plukio doesn't curate taste for you: we index independent shops broadly and give you the search tools, and you do the judging. The trade is a far bigger field and a direct line to the maker.
