Review in detail
Creoate calls itself an online wholesale marketplace for independent retailers and brands. The footer says CREOATE is a trading name of Clifton Ventures Holding Limited, company number 17421014, 20 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU.
The homepage claims stock from over 6,500 independent brands, and a price match promise that refunds the difference if a buyer finds the item cheaper. We checked on 4 November 2026.
Where does Creoate sit legally?
The privacy policy states Creoate has its headquarters in the United Kingdom and that some or all servers are in the United States. The UK is outside the EU, but it counts as European for this directory.
This server point matters if your reason for leaving Faire is data location.
What do buyers get?
The homepage lists categories from home and fashion to pets, kids and food, and displays prices in GBP, USD or EUR. A Price Match Promise and a Risk-Free Returns scheme are advertised.
Sellers can offer 90-day payment terms through the Trade Direct programme.
How does it compare with Faire?
Faire lists over 100,000 brands against Creoate 6,500 or so, so Faire has the wider range. Creoate pages we read show no payment-term days for buyers.
Known limits
Servers are partly in the USA according to its own privacy policy. The pages show no commission, minimum order or buyer payment terms. The legal pages read include a 2022 campaign page.
