Indie Designers
Here I have collected all indie designers I have written about in earlier posts. If you have suggestions for new designers these can be posted as comments.
I love the jewelry from Anne Maa Designs, especially the rings. Unfortunately it´s a little expensive for me, but Christmas is coming up, so it might be an idea to put on the wishlist. Sign up for the newsletter and get a chance to win a $50 gift certificate.
This shop offers a variety of different jewelry items, my favorites being the tags at $4 each.
The jewelry store of indie designer Katherine D. Babin. She has some really unique and beautiful pieces for sale, my favorite being the bubble necklace. You find jewelry in all different price ranges, the store ships internationally and you can pay using PayPal.
This store sell handmade one of a kind jewelry that is worth to check out. A necklace will cost you around $80 and earrings around $40, but then you get some really unique stuff. Unfortunately they sell out fast but to get a better chance you can sign up to the mailing list and you’ll be notified every time they update the store.
An online store with a collection of different indie designers. You’ll find anything from clothing to housewares at very resonable prices.
Bird necklace is $20, vintage button rings are $16 and purse is $40.
Pink Heather
Dresses for petite women. You’ll also find vintage goodies.
Tons of unique jewelry at low prices.
Up and coming designer used to be a part of Kenneth Cole’s design team and is now starting her own line.
Beautiful jewelry.
Unique jewelry with a customized vintage look.
Here you’ll find mostly one of a kind pieces at affordable prices (mostly around $20 - $30). I love the play with textures and the simplicity of it all.
Purses and pillows at low prices. Also a small selection of secondhand clothes.
A pack of 6 cards is £7, cute apple necklace is £18.50 and pretty clutch is £23.50.
So many adorable accessories! You’ll also find everything from papergoods to vintage clothing. Moth necklace is $48, sparrow earrings are $22, twig necklace is $25 and timepiece brooch is $36.
Fun bags.
Lots of lovely treats for your neck and ears. They cover different price ranges.
These are so pretty, I’m just so bummed out that the one I love the most is way out of my price range.
Lots of great desings to great prices.
Such special little treats!
I’m loving all the pretty colors, not to mention these are totally affordable.
Australian indie designers.
Great jewelry.
The funny skirts are my favorite; you know you won’t be seeing anyone else with these! Prices vary a bit, some a less than $50 and some are more than $60. You’ll also find tops, stuff made by her grandma and a bunch of unusual things.
A completely different look comes from this designer, with more black, laces and skulls. The accessories are around $20 - $30, while the dresses cost way more. Still many great things to find here.
This store has a big variety of items. Tees are around $30 and a bag will set you back around $40.
So many funny accessories; I am in love with the cuckoo necklace! Even better is the price, a necklace is £8.
No secret that I like skulls, and I love how they are used in the jewelry from this designer. Prices vary, you can get a nice necklace for $30, while others costs over $100.

My pieces are unique and made with imported yarns of the highest quality. I create each one with its own special flare and offer custom color and design in all of my pieces.

Hey,
I am half of the company “Maxine, Dear.” We make wallets and various other things out of hardcover books. I think you would find them interesting. We just launched the first half of our tee-shirt line as well. We are, obviously, always hungry for a write-up. We also have a shop in Columbus, OH (myspace.com/shoptigertree) we’ll be online with that soon as well. If you have the time, check out our link.Regards,

“Artistry, Color, Passion: A Fashion Exploration”
Artistry has always been a fundamental part of life to me…not only a part of life, but apart of the way I see and understand life. I learned to knit while studying in the Swiss Alps and have found it to be a unique source of joy and creativity in my life. If it adds any to yours … I am blessed. All of my pieces are handcrafted by me with imported yarns, primarily from Italy.

You have a beautiful site, and it is such a great resource.
Online since 1997, Cameo Intimates produces top quality, high-end lingerie, sold direct to the customer. Every order is hand tailored to your specifications -not just pulled out of a warehouse.
We specialize in vintage-style lingerie (like bullet bras, garter belts, and other hip retro underthings), but also make a line of sexy micro lingerie styles and other daring garments. Sheer, crotchless, open bras, you name it!
Because everything is handmade to order, customers have the option of making any number of modifications. Our most popular service is making our sexy bras with different cup sizes, which is something you’d be hard-pressed to get anyplace else. Whether it’s custom fabrics, colors, or an entirely new design, our skilled seamstresses always find a way to amaze us with their craftsmanship.
Check us out! Your custom bra will cost less than you think!

Dressedbydanni is a unique, upcoming fashion label, run by 24 year old, fashion graduate, Danni.
Previously discontent with the thought of working at the bottom of a large fashion house, she was determined to become her own boss and start dressing those fashion rebels in her own directional brand.
Designing, manufacturing and selling all her own creations single-handedly, she manages to create a rapport with each customer and delivers memorable customer service.
Dressedbydanni.co.uk was brought to life in June 2006 and now stands as an established company with loyal customer calling. Girls, globally, can now proclaim that they have, indeed, been “dressed-by-danni”.
Dressedbydanni doesn’t directly dictate what you should be wearing this season, it simply offers you a very tempting escape route from the high street. Dressedbydanni puts a signature spin on prevailing trends and allows you to capture an essence of fashionable simplicity, which is much more appealing than being yet another high street clone. Encapsulating the latest predictions into a wearable and affordable collection that will surely have you coveted by all your friends. So what are you waiting for, start shopping and get dressedbydanni.

Jamie Kreitman’s clothing and flip flops are stylish yet quite affordable. She adorns her clothing with beautiful beading, sequins and embellishments which make a simple piece show worthy.
