Because of Amazon Prime and an Internet-related job, most of my transactions occur virally. I've learned that while shopping online has become commonplace, common doesn't have to describe the options we browse on a daily basis. Thanks to indie online boutiques and online marketplaces, there's more to digital retail therapy with curated websites that will expand your fashion repertoire. Check out 15 of the best new shopping websites that will expand your knowledge, ahead.
Maison de Mode
With sustainability and fair trade as the main focus, Maison de Mode is luxury shopping with a conscious. Their roster of designers is selected on the basis of style and their carbon footprint.
Orchard Mile
Intended to mimic walking down your fave shopping street, Orchard Mile is an endless scroll of fashion goodies. They offer a collection of smaller online stores that range from fashion to beauty cult-websites like Cos Bar.
Lisa Says Gah
Based in San Francisco, Lisa Says Gah is the Cool Girl site of the Internet. Featuring Solange-loved brands like Maryam Nassir Zadeh, it’s a hodgepodge of lo-fi, high style inspiration.
24 Sevres
Where can you shop Céline online? Only at 24 Sevres. The lavish IRL store can be visited in Paris, but their site is decent alternative for those of us not lucky enough to peruse La Rive Gauche.
The Dreslyn
If the chill L.A. vibe is your look, then The Dreslyn is for you. The thoughtfully curated site not only has up-and-coming designers like Rejina Pyo and Beaufille, has a robust lifestyle section housing cult beauty brands like Rodin alongside home goods, too.
Stylebop
Stylebop has been on the scene for a minute, but is often overlooked. Turn to the German site for a mix of new and established brands that sit comfortably alongside each other.
Totokaelo
In New York's Lower East Side sits a quiet, yet beautiful brick and mortar store called Totokaelo. They offer everything from Balenciaga to Molly Goddard, making it a more personal designer shopping experience than visiting a larger department store.
Tictail
Tictail brings talented indie designers from all over the world, straight to your fingertips. Their massive, international marketplace will expose you to all kinds of brands in the fashion, art, and even furniture scene.
Olivela
Olivela's mission is to spread a portion of their proceeds to children’s causes across the world. You can even track your own contributions over time and see just how impactful your shopping is to charities like the Malala Fund, VH1 Save The Music Foundation, Baby2Baby, and more.
The Modist
Dressing modestly doesn’t mean you can’t wear designers like Delpozo, Marques’Almeida, and Proenza Schouler. And this is where The Modist shines. The brand's edit of luxury designers maintain a modest aesthetic that doesn’t sacrifice Fashion with a capital F.
Garmentory
If you love indie boutiques, allow us to introduce you to Garmentory. It accumulates a giant roster of small websites, giving you access to a million new designers you’ve never heard of before.
Bonadrag
‘Bona Drag’ is a 1960's British term meaning ‘Nice outfit’ (and introduced by Morrissey himself.) Surprisingly located in Milwaukee, Wisconson, the online boutique Bonadrag is a lifestyle shop for those who own a million house plants and like to swathe themselves in neutral cashmeres and Mara Hoffman.
Of a Kind
If you’re searching for something unique with the numbers to back that claim, look to Of a Kind. They will literally tell you how many limited editions are made of your special item. Think daisy signet rings, framed art work, and more.
Need Supply
What started as a Richmond, Virginia shop that sold vintage Levi’s in 1996 is now a massive, one stop shop for everything you could ever need. Need Supply features everything from independent designers to affordable unique tops and the chicest home wares .
The Editorialist
The Editorialist offers a shopping experience akin to flipping through a magazine. Their artfully designed pages are all clickable, making it easy to shop the trends and be instantly linked to your next favorite pair of Altuzarra heels.
