Etsy Shop of the Week: Erstwhile Urchin
Posted on Sunday, February 7th, 2010
Twitter is forever introducing me to impressive handmade finds, such as the collection of @ErstwhileUrchin – an Etsy artisan residing in British Columbia, Canada. I believe the Erstwhile Urchin creates clothing that speaks to literary minds and lovers of fairy tales. As their profile states: “Busily ripping, tearing and stitching back together. Recreating the fading finery of the 19th century London Town urchin.”
Overall, the clothing is whimsical and full of personality. The Gothic Tea Party Pink Urchin Flower Lolita Ragdoll Dolly Dress that first caught my eye. Other standouts include the Gothic Zombie Carnival Circus Striped Steampunk Ragdoll Urchin Dress and the Edwardian Flower Blue Street Urchin Rag Doll Gothic Dolly Dress.
