WELCOME TO SmashingDarling!

SmashingDarling is a place for EVERYONE who loves fashion that thinks beyond the mall. Whether you want to shop, sell your own designs, meet others, or just see what's new and hot in independent fashion...Smashing Darling is the place that brings all of these elements together and is a community like no other. 

GETTING STARTED

We’ve designed SmashingDarling to be a super-easy place to get around. Please take a few minutes to look through the info links to the left of this page, and hopefully it’ll all be very clear. And if you’re surfing through the site and ever get lost (or have questions) you’ll find a Help and FAQ link at the bottom of every page.

WHAT TO DO FIRST

If you simply want to browse through what our hundreds of indie designers have to offer, you can start by using the navigation bar at the top of every page to find what you’d like to see. You can also search using keywords (right below the navigation bar).

Once you’ve had a look around, you’ll want to set up an account. This will allow you to make purchases on the site and take advantage of some of the more advanced capabilities that the site has to offer. Setting up an account is also necessary to sell on the site.

Setting up an account couldn’t be easier - it’s totally FREE, secure, and private ... all we need is your email address. You’ll choose a username and password and that’s all there is to it - you’re all set to make purchases.

SHOPPING ON SmashingDarling: THE BASICS

The first thing to know is that SmashingDarling is a place where you’ll find a vast range of different designers from all over the country. When you find something you’d like to buy, you’ll be buying that item directly from the designer’s boutique. Each designer has different policies, which are always posted clearly in the “Boutique Policies” section of their store.

Once you’ve made a purchase (or two or three!) and are ready to checkout, you’ll go through an easy and secure checkout process, much like many other online shopping venues that you may be familiar with.

To learn more about how to start shopping, and more specific information, please visit our Buying FAQ page or our Start Shopping page for step-by-step instructions (don’t worry … it’s really easy!)
