This is why I don’t get Anthropologie. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I GET them. Their clothes are gorgeous, their home accessories to DIE for and someone needs to give their stylists a raise because wowzaa do they always have the best shop windows.
But…
Some of the stuff they sell is just le dumb. Take this. It is a knitted necklace. Of varying-weight yarn. Sloppily constructed. And cost… oh… $198.
Really? I could knit this in 15 minutes. And it wouldn’t have that weird brain-colored pink. And the seaming wouldn’t look like some fat-fingered toddler had his first spin with a yarn needle. Honestly, consumer-driven stores like Anthropologie are fine and all, but the handmade market is where it’s at. My next few posts are going to be my top Etsy picks for the holidays. Because if you’re going to buy a crappily-knitted necklace, at least let it be handmade. ;)
