Regretsy is the newest member of the bash-things family..This user board prides itself in making fun of things they think are hideous on Etsy, and getting away with it by refusing to link to the original source…not like it’s hard to find custom Twilight painted converse…Google?

What do you guys think, is this funny, or just plain mean?

Tom Banwell’s cut out masks may be a little out of the box for every day life, but seem totally appropriate for editorials. These intricately cut masks made of leather sell on his Etsy store for under $50! That’s a steal, considering they allow you to live out all your other worldly childhood dreams – there is even a unicorn mask! For all of you who are not as adventurous, his head bands are a little more earth friendly.

Very few designers are able to transverse the limitations of fashions cut and sew to create truly wearable pieces of art, but Attilla Design, an Etsy designer we just discovered might be one in the running. Not only limited to fashion, this designer has engaged in home furnishings and art with an aesthetic which challenges wearability yet leaves those who purchase it with a fulfilled sense of fashion entitlement. Check out some of her stuff below and check out this designers full collection on Etsy.

QUICKLINK: Attila The Designer

 Not sure if this is just a Midwestern, Dutch thing but I remember my mom having these stackable wooden dolls, and me thinking they were the coolest things in the world.  Well, my childhood has just been topped: the same wooden tolls, with gorgeous perfume bottles hand painted on the outside.  If you aren’t familiar with these, each doll is a bit smaller than the one before it, and they all fit inside of each other into the biggest doll. Not sure why I thought these were so cool, but I’ll definitely say, after seeing these, my opinion hasn’t changed.

Just when you thought you’d never see another pair of tattered jeans or a distressed t-shirt on the street, the fashion gods strike back, making tears, rips, wrinkles and crumples trendier than ever. But let’s be honest, with absolutely everyone breaking out their destroyed denim shorts, us trendy, yet unique, fashionables need something a little different. 

Needless to say, as soon as I came across Artlab’s distressed array of neckwear, button-ups, tees, accessories, dresses and suits, I fell in L-O-V-E, love! The natural vintage aesthetic completely puts the forced destruction of garments to shame. The best thing about these pieces? They’re one of a kind, created exclusively by designer Patricia Ayres, with unique printmaking and the inspiration from her dreams, memories and urban landscapes. Ugh, what I wouldn’t do for my own custom distressed pantsuit!

Thanks for the tip, Kingdom of Style!

You may have seen Verameat jewelry in Nylon or Brooklyn boutique Catbird, but the full collection of these unique trinkets can be found on Etsy. The baby doe ring is perfect for the upcoming season while the butterfly flail earrings flaunt your dark side. Look no further for the perfect gift for anyone who has everything; maybe you’ll find a little something for your stocking as well.

This grenade shaped soap is produced by an Etsy user named stinkybomb, who actually creates the soap from a silicone mold of an original WWII field grenade. I think it’s pretty damn cool, and it’s only $8! Check out the Etsy store here.

Thanks LikeCool.

With perhaps the most accurate name in jewelry design history, San Francisoco-based OctopusMehas cornered the market on wearable animal parts.  Tentacles are the new rabbit’s foot!

Most of the made-to-order pieces are real octopus tentacles or suckers cast in sterling silver.

OctopusMe jewelry is available in a variety of styles and sizes from the OctopusMe Etsy shop.

Supermarket HQ is a more polished, Etsy-esque site for independent artists/designers/craftsters all over the world.

Like Etsy, the site hosts handmade books, toys, and clothing.  But among the no-name sellers, I spotted some pieces from Yoko Devereaux and a lot of cool jewelry (above).  I’m going to look up about a hundred designers now.

Buy!  Sell!

The official beer of Williamsburg (sorry Brooklyn Brew) has been made into soap.  It seems someone discovered how fresh their skin felt after a night of binge drinking when they woke up in a cheap puddle of barfed up Pabst Blue Ribbon.  The soap is available on Etsy and is by far the last thing I would ever want to bathe in, but hell, it would make a great gag/intervention gift for that special someone in your life who still hasn’t discovered their tolerance level.

You can find Beer Soap here for $4.75 a bar.
