Fae's Cabinet
Fort Wayne, IN
A Fort Wayne artisan co-op where work from more than 140 makers shares space with bones, skulls, wet specimens, taxidermy, plants, body-care goods, jewelry, leatherwork, macabre art, and whatever strange object arrives next.
Fae's Cabinet turns a large rotating artist collective into a curiosity shop, mixing handmade work with natural specimens, taxidermy, plants, jewelry, body-care goods and stranger one-of-a-kind creations.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Artisan market, art shop, natural-history curiosity cabinet, specimen dealer, taxidermy shop, jewelry boutique, leather-goods shop, plant store, body-care counter, and oddities gallery.
The store changes constantly because more than 140 independent makers and collectors can push its inventory in completely different directions.
Fae's Cabinet brings a sprawling community of artists, makers and curiosity dealers together under one Fort Wayne roof. Current first-party material describes more than 140 participating artists, with merchandise moving between handcrafted art, jewelry, leatherwork, plants and body-care goods into bones, skulls, taxidermy, wet specimens, diaphanized specimens and other natural curiosities. Because much of the stock is consigned or one of a kind, the exact mix changes continuously, making the store feel less like a single specialty retailer than an evolving cabinet assembled by dozens of different imaginations.
