u-fab loves local: Celebrating Richmond’s Small Businesses
At u-fab, we’re passionate about supporting local businesses, and u-fab loves local is one of our favorite ways to celebrate the incredible makers, artists, and entrepreneurs in our community. Held twice a year, this event brings together some of Richmond’s most talented small businesses for an evening of shopping, connection, and appreciation for locally crafted goods.
This season’s u-fab loves local was a fantastic showcase of creativity, featuring everything from handcrafted leather goods to stunning artwork and fresh seafood. Seeing our showroom come alive with our guests and vendors reminds us why shopping small matters—it keeps our community thriving, supports independent artisans, and brings unique, high-quality products into our homes.
