Indie Style

Trioon halter on Etsy.com

I've spent a few hours on a sojourn of Etsy.com, the haven of independent artists, craftsmen/women, designers and artisans. I was in search of some unique and creative pieces to add colour and spirit to any woman's wardrobe. This post is a shout-out to the designers of Etsy, as well a showcase for some of their lovely pieces. When one pictures the types of clothes that are sold on sites like Etsy, one tends to imagine hippy-dippy patchwork skirts, goth studded corsets and screen-printed tees, and little in between. But as you can see from some of my favourites below, there are truly some talented and creative designers out there, with something for every woman's sense of style. I hope you enjoy!

In case you were wondering - adajewelry aka projectvintage does not actually make those dresses. They are $8 a piece in Korea/ Hong Kong.

Drop me a line if you want proof - I am still waiting for Etsy to "fix" her second store the way they closed her first.
