Sunday Adventure Club is a great example of everything that’s right (and dangerous) about Etsy. The woman behind it* knows exactly how to bring out the best in everything she sells. As anyone who’s spent half their life on Etsy knows, photos can make all the difference. But it’s not just the lighting or the composition, it’s about putting products in the right context. SAC’s owner knows her audience, and she knows how they live (or at least what they aspire to). Discarded mannequins, framed prints, retro furniture… it’s the little touches that do the trick.
Plus, like so many Etsy vendors, her prices are ridiculously reasonable. Sometimes I wonder whether there’s any point in hitting the big clothing shops anymore (cut to: me posting about an amazing thing I’ve found in a big clothing shop).
*I’ll admit, she’s a friend, and yes, I’ve given her a few things to sell, and yes, that may or may not be my big fat head in that photo.
