A British accessory emporium specializing in bits of handmade, carefully curated, modernized yesteryear from about eighteen or so indie designers. Funky retro kissclasp purses, flowered fascinators, pinup playing card makeup bags, tattered scarves made to be worn every which way, gold and silver jewelry that keeps the skulls understated – or crowns them with antlers. A good place to pick up fripperies that work double-duty with both vintage and contemporary stuff.

Bellydance fashion from the Netherlands, mostly traditional gear with flashes of tribal fusion. The skirts feature both patchwork wrapped and modern asymmetrical minis with the by-now standard page of flared dancing pants, and there are mitts and hooded scarves for further accessorizion. Also a good place for all the adornments: belts of mirrors and draping chains, spiky cuffs, flowered tiaras and fascinators and metal tassels to secure into the hair, and lots of great big jingling bits.

Fantasy costumes that push way past Halloween-in-a-bag getups into the realms of maximum frill. Trans and plus-size friendly, the designs are an explosion of lolita/french maid/cosplay ruffles – this is a great place for packing on some serious petticoat volume – with some more grownup occupational attire in PVC flight attendant dresses, boss-lady puff-sleeve blouses, military caps, and satin nurse masks. The lingerie is just as frothy, and accessories include tulle hair flowers, heels, wigs, and little lacy bags to match the outfits.

Dreadlock dressers from the UK, who have brought their haircare products online. Divided between Knotty Boy and Dreadhead, the goods include shampoos and conditioners, fragrance sprays, tea treatments, waxes, combs, and the very thoughtful inclusion of a scalp massager. As far as adornments, there are tams and wraps, cuffs and beads to pop onto the locks, Directions hair dye to turn everything pillarbox red, and the scrunchies at this joint come outfitted with felt bobble tentacles.

Custom is welcome in colors and fragrances, including scent-free soaps for sensitive schnozzes. Thanks, Miko!
