For all press inquiries contact mo@smashingdarling.com
Owners Julie Rorrer and Trish Ginter have stocked this indie
marketplace with an impressive assortment of unique pieces from a
collection of lesser known designers.
You won’t ever understand the allure of indie fashions until you buy
and wear something distinct, fabulous and hard to find. Then and only
then will you get why indie fashion rules the roost...they are on to
something....What’s the allure behind featuring items from Lara Miller
(pictured above and below), Pinar Eris, Laura Dawson and Papusza Couture? To the
world outside of our little circle they are largely unknown, but they
will be. And you would have had the foresight to know them first.
"In our ongoing effort to promote independent designers, I am proud to
announce the start of the Indie Star of the Week (working title). Each
Thursday I will be picking out a product from one of the group selling
sites such as Etsy, Smashing Darling, I may even venture on to Ebay.
A lot of these designers are just starting out and have not set up
formal sites of their own. You can not get more indie than that, and
they deserve to get noticed, too."
"Whatever it means, if we can find it at
Smashing Darling, we know it's hot. Here you'll find a downright
stunning assortment of one-of-a-kind clothes from a bevy of small
designers, all at outstanding prices. We love hats by Anne De
Pasquale, Mergirl skirts and sleep sets from Sandmaiden. If this is
indie, sign us up!"
"I am delighted to be a part of the SD community of artists and designers. Creating a store on your site was easy! It was very satisfying to see the line up for sale instantly. Since my personal websites are geared towards the wholesale industry, it was helpful to have a separate store-front at SD where I could send consumers to buy the products directly. Trish and Julie are savvy, dedicated and artistic individuals with a clear vision for the site. I look forward to seeing the site grow, and continuing to be a part of this innovative community for many years to come."
"Smashing Darling, my new favorite site to shop, drool, quiver etc over amazing indie fashion finds."
"You know you're going to find something smashing to wear on the smashingdarling.com site. In fact, just the name itself is fun and exhilarating.Just when you think you have nothing to wear to work or to a party or nothing special to accessorize your "already smashing" outfit - you click a couple times and there you find just what you want. You can't wait to get it and you can't wait to wear it and if you're like me - you can't wait to tell everyone you know where you got it! I feel like I'm part of this really cool club of cool people with lots of flair and really good taste!"
