Some of my best shopping is done online and the best thing about it?? You don't need to be in the same place as the source, let alone the same country. You can purchase quality goods from all over the world and have them delivered safely to your doorstep, but hey, you already knew that! 6 of my best online shopping sites are below. I could have made this 600 of the Best, but have kept myself tidy! In no particular order:
1. Nomadic Son
Nomadic Son have amazing carpets and kilims that they import from all over the world. It's a family tradition, so they know their stuff! Also included in their range are suzani purses and other unique items. This Turkish Tea Glass and Saucer set is on it's way to me! It's just perfect.
If you haven't heard of Vintage Venus they are on online supplier of vintage prints including artwork from famous brands like Bally and VOGUE. The search engine is designed to search by style, brand, colour or genre so you can really find what you want. These two gems are taking pride of place in my guest bathroom. At the can't-go-past-it-price of under $250.00, including framing! (framing not done by Vintage Venus - a couple of IKEA frames - and you're laughing!)
US site which ships to Australia. They have some of the most amazing homewares and clothing and they are my go-to site for unique cushions, and bedding. On my wish list: the gorgeous Qawaya bed linen.
This site always impresses me. Filled to brim with quality furniture of African, Asian, Contemporary, French Country, Indian, Island Resort, Long Island Summer, Manhattan Apartment, Mediterranean, Moroccan, Organic, Paris Salon, and Traditional influences there is definitely going to be a piece of furniture on Interiors Online fits your brief.
The search engine allows you to search by genre (above), brand or by product type. They also stock lighting, decor items and art work.
To compliment their full product offering, Interiors Online also suggest how to style the piece of furniture you purchase, which other items it will work with and in what interior style is goes best. Service or what!!
Become a VIP and you will get a 10% discount off already low prices. (They only trade online - no rent to pay equals lower prices for us!!) And they are based in Melbourne for quick, easy delivery! This site is an absolute favourite!
On my wish list from Interiors Online is this Indian Brass Trim side table and this Marble Lotus Bowl.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you're after a book, this is where it's at. The Book Depository are based in the UK and they offer discounted prices, quick FREE delivery, regular price drops and an extensive range, why would you look anywhere else for your books.
Features include Wish List function to record all the goodies you want to purchase, purchasing history, optional 'Review' section if you feel compelled to write one, and an Order Tracking system so your orders never get lost and you can always see exactly where it is in the world. I have used 4 different delivery addresses and never once have I had any issues with late delivery or lost orders.
My Wish List has 185 items (!) on it so I won't share them all with you, I'll keep it tidy.
The Erskine River Trading Company is located in Lorne, Victoria, however they also sell online. Offering only a percentage of what is on offer in their actual store, the online store offers ottomans, wooden items, vintage pieces and skincare items. Very simple site to use and customer service is great! I'm in love with this Antique Chinese Trip Chest.
