Online stores to look out for:
Over the past few years, online shopping has become vastly popular as the demand for more convenient solutions to regular activities has increased. Online shopping has its pros and cons. It's great because you can order everything you need without having to step outside your front door, and there are a lot more options since you can order from nearly any international store available online. On the negative side, there are almost always added shipping fees, and the fact that your items are being shipped means that it will take both time and money. Another negative aspect is that you can't try on or see what you buy in real life before you've paid, so it can be difficult to tell whether an item will suit/fit you or not.
The following are a few online stores that are worth taking a look at:
Ripndip: An American skate store available to order online in Australia. They sell clothing, hats, socks, and boards. A lot of their stuff has cool prints your unlikely to find anywhere else, such as their cat prints and unique tie dye. All the items are also pretty well priced considering how unique and well made they are.
The Cobra Snake: This shops been around for a while. The creator of the store, Mark Hunter, has even made himself known to celebrities everywhere through his photography and online store. The shop sells a lot of one-off vintage pieces, and some Cobra Snake-branded stuff as well. Some of the items can be quite pricey but considering they're one-off its definitely worth the purchase.
Etsy: Rather than one shop, this is more of a website for individuals to showcase what they've made and are selling. Etsy is great for unique items that your struggling to find in all the mainstream stores. You can buy basically anything on Etsy, from clothes to jewellery and art. There is a huge range of prices for items on the website, so you can find some really great cheap buys.
Tiger Mist: Tiger Mist is an Australian online store that specifically sells party clothing like dresses, skirts and tops. Most of the items are generally more expensive, although the quality and styles of the clothing available make it worth the purchase. Tiger Mist is great for stand-out outfits that will definitely turn heads. Most of the clothes are quite bold, so they're only for those feeling brave enough to make a statement.
