Impact Style went deep into the online shopping world to discover the best hidden treasures from all of our favourite websites. This week we explored Etsy.
For stylish hidden treasures, I immediately turned to one of my favourite websites, Etsy. From handmade to vintage, quirky to colourful, this website allows sellers worldwide to trade their wares, and offers the opportunity to find some real hidden treasures!
1. The Crafty Cow Shed

2. Vera’s Eye Candy
Item: AC/DC Mini Dress
Price: £33.01
I’m a huge fan of both AC/DC and LBDs, and this mini dress by Vera’s Eye Candy combines the two with ease. With a vintage rock style that can be dressed up or down, I’d treasure this dress!
3. Old But Gold Vintage

With a seller that prizes diversity and authenticity, these shoes are made to order and available in a wide range of styles and colours. Perfect for those who like to look unique, these shoes can also be customised for free.
8. Creative Laughs

This ethereal phone case, with its unusual design is a real steal at only £10.00. The makers also don’t discriminate against non-Iphone users, so it’s possible to pick any design from the wide selection on offer.
