I just discovered the Santa Monica flea market, every Sunday. I go weekly. There's a lot of interesting things there.
Etsy is fundamentally a creative community. On eBay, or Amazon for that matter, practically anyone can sell practically anything. On Etsy, you can only sell handmade goods, vintage goods over 20 years old, and craft supplies for making.
I don't care for brands. I'm more of a boutique shopper because the things I will find there are unique, and there won't be any copies.
Flea markets are fun because they are the ultimate treasure hunt. Be open to the fact that you never know what you'll find. The most beautiful, quirky, funny, scary pieces may not have an intrinsic value.
I never pass up the chance to shop at vintage stores.
I love vintage shopping, I think it's really fun. And I love the feeling of finding the most amazing piece for less.
I buy what makes my heart sing. So, it's not that I follow one specific track. It's sort of what I like. I love colors. I love unique pieces. I love vintage clothing.
You don't need personal fabrication in the home to buy what you can buy because you can buy it. You need it for what makes you unique, just like personalization.
If I dig something, I'll throw it on. I like random stuff you can get at thrift shops.
I love wandering around the vintage shops.
I have vintage things that I got nine, 10 years ago, and every time I clean my closet, I can't get rid of them. I think, 'I will never find this again!'
I love vintage shopping in flea markets, vintage stores and even Ebay.
When I go to a country, I go to flea markets, antique stores. I am always looking for something.
I design a lot of things that I wear onstage, but I'm always looking for unique stuff. I like creative things, so anything I can find at a secondhand costume shop to a Helmut Lang store, it doesn't matter - just unique stuff.
