As you know by now, I'm a big Etsy.com fan. Love it! So, when I saw a sort of Etsy clone, only geared all toward fashion, well, you know. I think it's cool, brilliant in fact!

It is called Smashing Darling: Your House for Indie Fashion and was the brainchild of two indie designers, Trish and Julie:

We created a place for EVERYONE who loves fashion that thinks beyond the mall. Whether you want to shop, sell your own designs, find raw materials, meet others, collaborate, or just see what's new and hot in independent fashion...we hope that Smashing Darling will become a place that brings all of these elements together and evolve to be a community like no other.

Much like Etsy, members can buy or sell indie related fashion. Here's a blurb from the general FAQ:

How do I get started on Smashing Darling ?
You can get started on Smashing Darling by creating an account. Go to our homepage and click on SIGN UP in the upper right corner. Usernames can only be numbers and letters; no funky characters or spaces are allowed. Sellers, be careful when choosing your user name because it will be the one everyone sees and knows you as. Once you're registered, please consult our Buying FAQ and Selling FAQ for more info. To register as a buyer or seller, we require you to choose a username and password and to have a verified email address. Since Smashing Darling is an e-commerce site, all buyers and sellers must be over the age of 18 (or have parental permission).

Right now, they have categories for jewelry, clothing, accessories, textile, and vintage. You can shop by browsing via category or designer. I think this has loads of potential, so I plan to keep an eye on it. Anyone else ever hear or this, bought, or sold there?
