  "description": "Etsy is a global online marketplace where independent sellers offer handmade, vintage, and craft supplies. Within the Home & Living segment, it acts as a primary hub for artisanal rugs, connecting global weavers and collectors directly with consumers. Although it functions as a single platform, the rug category operates as a decentralized network of thousands of individual small businesses.",
