El Bosque animado is a shop specialized in handcrafted tribal faerie wear located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. We´ve covered this genre of fantasy clothing several times, with shops like "Senjo" or "Opal Moon designs" among other, and it's indeed a very popular one, but it surprised me that this time the shop (you can find them in their official Bosque animado Blog or also primarly based in facebook ) is heading from my own country, Spain. And it has indeed some really lovely pieces that will please not only tribal bellydancers but also modern urban dryads and faeries that want to add to their casual clothes a touch of magic. Mostly in green, brown and ivory matching earthy tones, the items from "El bosque animado" has a lovely tribal and vintage quality, both fantasy but wearable, and of course, all handcrafted and one of a kind pieces. You can commission similar ones but there are not two that are quite the same. There´s an email to contact the crafter if you want to ask about the prices
Yes, they're crazy and insanely cute! Living now in a farm near New York and after travelling the world quite a few times Kat O´sullivan is devoted now to make this lovely, mad and outstandingly beautiful sweater art infused by her adventurer free-spirited heart. You can find coats in every color of the rainbow or with all their colors at the same time! Every season, every landscale...Or black for gothic raven souls, or earthy green mossy and browns for dryads and forest dwellers... some with pointy super long hoodies for naughty pixies!! Put one of this coat over your daily wear and your total image will be completely transfixed into a daring fairy look.

As the TPF official site site is currently under construction most of the activity and latest models can be seen and purchased directly to Helen Robinson directly by email of from her Facebook of Myspace TPF networking sites. I recommend you to start by the Facebook one cos it includes an open gallery of models, her contact and also a happy customers gallery so you can make an idea of what you'll get. Most of the items are lovely for a informal daily fairy wear... I simply love the hoodies!. All garments look fitting for extremely vivid and happy people. And sure indeed they look like so!
Intergalactic apparel specializes in Original Wearable Art made from fabric scraps and other reclaimed materials. The store is the team of two designers Kaiya and Glacia. By the enthusiasm and the good vibrations in all the item descriptions you can´t help but feel a warmth wave of natural colors... and They're definitely eco-friendly and beating in sync with nature when designing their garments that overall seem to be very bound to the earth with browns and forest greens, and luscious leafy designs... in their words "they are deeply committed to doing their part to heal this planetary situation of corporate slavery and greed.By using these materials as well as providing new ways of expression through fashion, we are lending our efforts to this healing and hope to bring a smile to your face in the process" using Re-purposed materials to stay true to Gaia

Gobbolino is a store that specializes urban faerywear . I first discovered this store because it was featured in the same issue of the british magazine FAE MAGAZINE which I was the girl cover. That number of the magazine had also a collection of beautiful pictures and then took note of it.

Imp and Pixie features a little but lovely collection of coats inspired in the forest magical creatures. They're very wearable and would do also with any jeans for your urban daily life.
