Have you ever compared your favorite store with handmade or vintage items from Etsy? The results might surprise you!
I took a few moments to compare items from one of the coolest stores, Anthropologie, with similar items being sold by some Etsy sellers with a lot of style!
Do you think handmade or vintage items come with a big price tag? Well, let me show you what I found…
These sweet floral earrings can be found at Anthropologie for $18. They’re simple and sweet, perfect for Spring! Cute.
Look what I found on Etsy…
Vintage and Glam Jewelry has these sweet little yellow floral earrings for $9.50! Awesome!
Saving money without skimping on style works for me!
Now let’s take a look at a little something for the kitchen...
This fun dish towel might be a bit out of my price range at $38.00. It’s nice…but not that nice!
Wanna see another option?
Am Studio has this cute dish towel for sale, and it’s only $8.00!
I even like the look of this one a little more…What a great deal!
If you’re looking for a little home decor with a vintage feel, you might like this…
Anthropologie has this funky old vintage looking phone for $198.
Well, I think Tim would flip out if I spent that on a yellow phone, so it’s a good thing you can find something close to it on Etsy!
This vintage phone can be found at Ginger’s Girl for just $18!
How cool is that?
Take a look around Etsy before you run out to your favorite store, you might find something even better for less!!
What kind of fun things have you purchased on Etsy?

Thank you so much for sharing my cute yellow phone 🙂
As for the earrings, spot on! I also like the dish towel from Am Studio much better than the other one!
Great finds!
love ’em..thank you so much for sharing!!!
That Anthro phone is INSANELY expensive! Sometimes it gets pretty ridiculous with that store which is a shame, but that’s why I just love etsy!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful ideas!
Beautiful finds! Those Etsy sellers are undervaluing their work!
I love these comparrisons! You should post one of these a couple of times a month!
Oh my goodness, I purchased earrings on Etsy that look just like those from Anthro and I loooove them! What a great post 😉

Such a great post! Love your comparisons. You’re so right, this IS why etsy is so awesome 🙂
Great post! I love Etsy! I have gotten some polymer clay goodies from Guurrrl on Etsy. Custom polymer clippies too that looked like lollipops! When they arrived they looked so realistic my son asked me if he could take a bite LOL

I love this article! There are so many shops that make things that are just copying classic vintage styles!
BTW, I just listed a pair of earrings that are pretty similar to the Anthropologie ones, as well, except that they are light blue.
