Etsy is AMAZING.

I came across it by complete accident. I'm almost regretting writing this review because I want it to be my little secret. If you like quirky kitsch imaginitive clothes, jewellery and ANYTHING else. Seriously Etsy will have what you want. It's an online marketplace for things handmade and vintage. lego Indianna Jones cufflinks...etsy has it. A re modelled and customised 1920's vintage watch made into a bracelet....etsy has it. I regularly buy a lot of clothes, bags, purses, jewellery and have never been let down. People ALWAYS ask me where my stuff is from and I am always complimented. The sellers are really personable and keep in contact with you. If you want something custom made most are willing to do so for you. Payment can be made by debit/credit card or Paypal for safety. Only thing to watch out for is with international shipments there is sometimes a customs charge...this depends how the seller fills out the postage. Some are a little naughty and put the package through as a gift therefore no charge. But others will not, so you should make sure what courier they are using to check if you have to pay extra on arrival. Any item from any E.U country though there is no customs charge .

All in all I think Etsy is wonderful although my credit card would probably say something a little different...

Summary: If you love quirky clothes, accessories and trinkets. You will fall in love with Etsy.
