Design Trend Research Tool

Reading design trends so we can make better craft.

This is an internal, read-only research tool used by our studio to study publicly available design trends. It helps us give small craft and UMKM producers clear, evidence-based creative direction.

What this tool does

◆ It does

  • Reads public Etsy listing data — titles, tags, categories, and popularity signals
  • Aggregates that data to identify recurring aesthetic trends and color directions
  • Produces our own summarized design analysis for internal creative work
  • Operates strictly read-only, at low request volumes

◆ It does not

  • Access any buyer, order, transaction, or message data
  • Create, edit, or delete listings, or send email
  • Resell, redistribute, or publicly redisplay Etsy content or seller images
  • Store seller images — pixels are processed only to extract aggregate color

How it works

01

Search public listings

We query the Etsy Open API v3 public listing search for a design keyword — for example “handwoven rattan decor.”

02

Aggregate the signals

Tags, categories, and popularity counts are combined across many listings to find which aesthetic directions recur most.

03

Summarize a direction

The output is our own aggregated analysis — color palettes, motif themes, and trend notes — used internally to guide the designs we create.

Data use & API compliance

This application uses the Etsy Open API v3 under personal access, limited to public listing search endpoints. It requires only an application x-api-key and requests no OAuth scopes, because it never accesses private member data.

All listing content is used only to produce aggregate, non-identifying trend analysis. We do not republish Etsy content or seller images. Our use is intended to comply with Etsy’s API Terms of Use; if any use is found to fall outside those terms, we will adjust or remove it promptly.

About the studio

pakpepibikin is a design studio in Bandung, Indonesia, working with craft producers and small businesses (UMKM). We use a five-stage creative method — research, sense-making, concept, creation, and finishing — to help artisans develop products with a clear market direction. This research tool supports the first two stages by grounding creative decisions in real, publicly observable design trends rather than guesswork.
