Your Choice - Your Story: Now Customise


While the online market is swiftly growing and offers us a world of mass produced goods, there is hardly any scope to personalise these products, which could really make them unique and offbeat. Imagine a website that allows you to customise products and add a special touch, the way you want. This is the next wave of e-commerce.

Say Hello to “icustommadeit”!

In August 2013 an online marketplace called 'icustommadeit.com' was launched, which connects buyers who wish for one-of-a-kind creations with passionate and professional creators of those goods, from around the country. icustommadeit was established on the belief that customization is the core of any merchandise today. The buyers connect with specialized creators by submitting a description or photo of what they want to customize for themselves. Creators, who are interested get in touch with ideas and send out their proposals to start the project.

icustommadeit is a wonderful platform were buyers get to virtually meet sellers and creators. You can glance through the category of listed products under CATEGORIES. Check out a range of their carefully vetted creators who’d be the best match to create whatever you desire. Look through their profiles and zero in on a creator best suited for you. You can choose to create furniture, shoes, jewelry, pens or anything else that you want. You if you can find a suitable creator, then the product can soon be yours!

So how does this work?

It’s absolutely free and takes just a few minutes. Once you have an idea, it can be a basic concept to a photo of exactly what you want, you can sign up/login with icustommadeit and submit a custom project request by filling up their project form. You can check out the various creators there and can also reach out to a specific creator whose work you find interesting by sending him/her a special invite. I personally am in love with the work of Gehna, Kreeli, Fatfatiya and The Pink Chair. You should absolutely check out their creations.

Below are a few of my favorite products made exclusively here:




Hazel Lust Sling Clutch: This golden/rust colored clutch is perfect to go with that LBD for a date night. It has a height of 18 cm and is enough to hold your phone, wallet and makeup.



Wine Bottle Pendant Lights: These look fantastic and perk up a room instantly. The metallic finish to them adds a nice rustic feel too.


The Garden Swing: This is my most favorite item on the site. The carved wood looks so antique and is perfect to be placed in a garden. This would be the best place to read a book and sip onto some coffee.

What happens next?

Once the idea is posted, the creators who are interested in the concept will reply with ideas or questions to help you refine your request. When you decide who you would like to work with, you’ll receive a detailed proposal outlining cost, milestones, shipping and time frame on your Instant Messaging Box/Mailbox. You can accept the proposal and the creation process begins.

You can also speak with your creator directly on the IMB till the completion of your project. You are free to share all your ideas, suggestion and can also vent out all your frank, free-spirited mindsets, preferences and details of the customized merchandise at every step. Remember the college projects that we used to do? Well this is exactly like that, except that it happens in the virtual world! How cool is that?

When will you receive your product?

As your creation nears completion, you’ll be able to review photos of your finalized project. You can get changes made even then. Once the final approval is done, the creator will ship your project directly to your doorstep. Once you receive your completed custom-made product, let the creator know what you think of it and you can also leave a review on icustommadeit for your product.

All this works when you are a buyer and join icustommadeit to get things done.
