If you are looking for something different from the usual fare available at your local retailer, ETSY is the place to visit. ETSY sells stuff that are vintage and handmade and consequently different from mass produced goods. 

The goods found at ETSY include Art, Home and Living room stuff, Dresses, garments for men, women and kids, home decor, jewellery, collectibles and more. 

Now that Halloween is round the corner, you are bound to get "different" costumes at ETSY than those at Amazon. The costumes stand out for their design, color, theme and variety.

As far as I remember, ETSY started out selling homemade handicrafts, art and gift products. They still are the best at the site.

I was browsing through the swimwear section and the collection is really retro and classic and quite different.
