However, quite often these stores are highly overpriced and if they choose not to stock the work of local designers then you are likely find only the most generic lip service / tripp gear available! While the large dark alternative fashion labels do produce the occasional cutting edge design, for those who crave a less generic look really need to shop online and source their fashion from the global marketplace.
There are now a great deal of small designers offering their original goth, cyber goth & industrial warez to the world, as well as stores catering for a range of styles who distribute small and larger brands alike.
Aside from the obvious savings in cost when it comes to importing your own freaky attire, it feels great to walk into a club wearing some crazy obscure item from the other side of the world...
So where to start?
The real bargains are often found on Etsy & Ebay.
On Etsy, you will find some of the best handmade attire online such as one of a kind dresses, modded cyber goggles, industrial corsets, prosthetic horns & circuitry, hair falls of all kinds etc and many of the artist/designers will happily take requests so you can get that perfect corset or
prosthetic cyber horn made exactly to your specifications.
Ebay is perfect for second hand bargains and untagged items such as boots and shoes. Many online and regular retail stores use ebay to sell off items with damaged packaging or returns! As well as fellow underground fashionistas clearing their closets of those worn-once items, some amazing bargains can be found. Ebay also has artists selling some unique handmade gear such as these crazy LED Light Up Cyber Goth Respirator Masks, modded out cyber goggles, and hair falls.
Ebay is also useful to find Crinoline and synthetic kanekalon hair if you're into making your own cyberlox and dread falls.
As for online stores, the best are stores offering a small selection of original designs, or stores that offer low prices and a large inventory to select from. Over the years, these are some proven to be the best in terms of quality, service and product!
