Corsets tend to conjure up images of luxury and refinement: soft silks, silver busks, rich brocades. Clothing for aristocrats. To the joy of diesel femmes and gothic savages everywhere, Louis Fleischauer of AMF Korsets offers a more primal take on the classic design, preferring to work with “wounded” leather and claw clasps than the velvets of yesteryear, with just a touch of black satin lacing as a grace note. The result is a handcrafted, feral look that is truly end-of-the-world.

Plastic jewelry reminiscent of 80’s childhoods, striped tees and hoodies breaking out in attacks of strawberries and hearts. Very cute.

This place is like an indie mall! All the stores you’d expect are here – fashion, kids’ stuff, jewelry, toys, decor – except they’re all full of small designers! A huuuuge selection of stuff, too many artists and brands to name but the first impression I got was that this place is excellent for young families – and the stylish in general – who’d rather do their one-stop shopping at a funky online store.

Formerly The Veg Sex Shop, “sexy vegan gear and natural organic adult products.” Yay! Excellent site if you’re looking for hemp-based lube to go with those non-leather restraints.

Not only does this shop sell cats-eye glasses and other vintage eyewear finds, but they offer replacement parts and do repair for antique frames – and they’re available for searches on particular hard-to-find styles.
