Etsy has a reputation for being the place to go when looking for hand-carved squirrel figurines or monogrammed decorative pillows. But if you can overlook its embarassing rep and its various controversies<\/a>, Etsy is a goldmine for vintage clothing. Although it\u2019s often overlooked and underappreciated, Etsy is becoming a hero of underground fashion, aiding those looking for the wild and wonderful finds you won\u2019t discover at your local thrift shop.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\"\"
\nBeyond making your closet a little more vibrant, shopping on Etsy has broader social, economic and environmental benefits. Firstly, transactions take place between individuals \u2014 the money mostly supports small business owners, rather than established companies or corporations. It\u2019s also eco-friendly! As mass production is further expedited to meet the demands of new trends, the fashion industry produces more waste and lower quality product. Buying vintage is a simple way to disrupt this \u201cfast fashion<\/a>\u201d nightmare. Etsy also allows you to shop beyond borders, giving you access to a truly global marketplace. Those in big cities aren\u2019t restricted by thrift shops that only buy on-trend, and those in more rural locations aren\u2019t reliant on second hand stores stocked with clothing from the recently deceased. The search bar allows shoppers to look up anything imaginable, meaning you can find the pieces you only hope<\/i> exist, which, it turns out, often do (for example, \u201cvintage sesame street sweater\u201d brings up 57 results). Finally, the most obvious benefit is that you can shop through thousands of unique vintage pieces from all over the world without moving an inch. Despite all of these logical reasons to swan-dive in, it\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed by the vastness of Etsy\u2019s offerings. To help you out, we\u2019ve assembled a list of some of our favorite Etsy shops from around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Berlin, Germany,\u00a0<\/span>$$<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" Image: King Kong Vintage<\/p>\n

King Kong vintage is the place to look for outwear with a sense of humor. Berliner Patrick M\u00fcller has a knit collection that is delightfully bizarre, filled with the kinds of sweaters worn by primary school art teachers in 1985. His color explosion of a shop is a hearty reminder that winter looks needn\u2019t be drab, depressing or monotone! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vintagestar Paris<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Paris, France,\u00a0<\/span>$$-$$$<\/span><\/p>\n

The store offers a broad range of items in a very niche category: ’50s-’70s cycling jerseys.

The collection features \u201cupdated\u201d retro tees from bands like Rage Against the Machine, the Violent Femmes and the Spice Girls.

Hong Kong,\u00a0<\/span>$$-$$$<\/span><\/p>\n

This list is only representative of a sliver of Etsy’s vintage offerings. A word of warning: Etsy is not the best online destination for passive shoppers. With a bit of time, research and creativity, you can hunt down specifics and uncover unique treasures. Although it’s a bit controversial to endorse internet k-holes, in Etsy’s case, the deeper you delve, the greater the reward.
