A History of Violence

Shopfatal.com Launches

You’ve witnessed a few shopping casualties. A girl suffered an “accidental” slash to the face via hanger at the Vera Wang sample sale. Another had a panic attack when she couldn’t wiggle out of vinyl leggings. And you broke your ankle in five-inch Louboutins (no pain, no gain, people).

But believe it or not, shopping fatalities can be a good thing. Take, for instance, Shopfatal.com, a brand new site whose virtual shelves are stocked with hard-to-find designers.

Get your mitts on Ashley Watson handbags, made of vintage leather jackets; plaid Henrik Vibskov scarves and jumpers; Vivienne Westwood’s Hangover dress with a hood for hiding out; or bold, geometric prints from C.Neeon. Our pick? Bernhard Willhelm’s two-toned ankle booties in bold colors with scalloped edges and decorative chains.

Everything is on the edgy side, so you’ll definitely stand out.

But you’re not one for playing it safe.
