As much as we love Etsy.com, that credit-card-sucking site where people from across the world sell their handmade crafts and accessories, even we’ll admit that some of the wares can be eccentric. All right, downright ugly. And now there’s the wonderful blog Regretsy.com to scour the site for us and pick out the worst of the worsts. Here are some of our faves from Regretsy:
Sex and the City dangly earrings (above)
Make sure you go to the site to get all the witty commentary!
Do you shop on Etsy? What do you think of Regretsy?

reusable pad?! that’s definitely not very hygienic.
guest
Oh dear god
guest
@yankeesrock92715@xanga - You wash them. They work great, are hygienic and good for the environment- not to mention you.
guest
I love etsy. Had a shop there for awhile. those items….not so much.

Holy crap! You weren’t kidding.
guest
Reusable menstrual pad?! That’s disgusting! I’m not gonna lie, though, I’d wear those tights. But I wouldn’t pay 85$ for them.
guest
I personally think 80% of Etsy stuffs are weird.
guest
too bad the hat isn’t for sale, it would help with the transmissions. You know the ones from the aliens under my bed.
the reusable pad pattern is just weird. I bled on a vampire today and helped save the environment.

HAHHA epicly ugly and overpriced stuff.
guest
holy crap. i love etsy, in fact i have a shoppe on there. but this stuff is just horrifyingly awful.
guest
I actually like the turtle!!!

I like the idea of a big ring, but tha’ts HUGE.
guest
The turtle ring is cute… if it wasn’t a ring. There must be someone in the world who finds these things attractive. Somewhere. But it’s not me. XD
guest
the turtle is actually sort of cute.
maybe if it wasn’t on a ring, and it was just one of those little figurines…i might want it.
the rest of it is….ack .__.
guest
i kind of like the turtle ring.

you’re joking right….
guest
I like Etsy, there is some really great stuff to be found there. This stuff not so much.
guest
lol at the description of the turtle ring.
you’d think buyers would have some common sense… but then again, this is regretsy we’re talking about.
guest
Menstrual goddess

@tigerdauphin@xanga - Me too:D

ummm odd >.<
guest
I was an art and english major before I dropped the “art” and picked up “sociology”, and I can honestly say there are some iffy “artists” out there. Some people just don’t get it, and will make something so eccentric to be different, no one in their right mind would find it beautiful!
Either way, I gotta give them big ups for doing something they love.
guest
LOL.
A bit weird…
guest
i don’t mind the tights but i wouldn’t be caught wearing them either. the rest is ridiculous. i don’t understand how they’re so expensive.
sunflower / 337 posts
oh my lordy!
guest
LOL wtf?
guest
Compared to everything else, Turtle in the Garden looks almost normal.
guest
Wow. I was all ready to like some of these and protest that they weren’t that bad, but boy are they ever awful!
guest
Throughout this whole post it just got worse and worse. My face was like .__.
The ring is not SO bad but wow lol
guest
wtf?! who would wear this stuff…who would MAKE this stuff…?
rose / 960 posts
rather like the last one. turtles are awesome.
orchid / 218 posts
i like the tights the most but they’re not worth $80…
daisy / 693 posts
lol the descriptions under the products are so funny
sunflower / 294 posts
those ‘loved’ sweats, i could make in like five minutes. why the hell is it so expensive?! the tights aren’t that weird, but they’re overpriced. i don’t give a crap if it’s handmade, expensive is expensive. mm… the ring is kinda pretty, but only to look at. it’s too bulgey.
ranunculus / 3457 posts
I kind of like the tights. But I love almost 99% of tights I see.
I love Etsy, but yeah, there’s lots of ugly/weird shit there.
guest
Hahahah I love Esty!
orchid / 108 posts
awkwarddddddddd
guest
overpriced, but i love the tights, and the ring.
i have a friend that would love the mermaid hair clip.
guest
Man..they are hurting my brain…
guest
ummm.. that ring is badass.
rose / 759 posts
I like the turtle.
The rest is WTF? Reusable pad… i dont know about that.
dahlia / 2747 posts
i like the turtle. but other than that, EW EW EW EW.
guest
that just made me go WTF??
sunflower / 359 posts
There are some ugly unreasonable things on Etsy.
I actually have a shop on there and wonder how some people get so many sells on selling crap.
guest
Party sweater is odd and seeing her boob in the picture is even more unsettling…
I like the ring though.
Reusable pad, ew?
tulip / 17 posts
The turtle is not that bad I think…
guest
ew. i don’t shop there.
magnolia / 1354 posts
This stuff is just…horrifyingly ugly.
guest
Holy balls…
sunflower / 339 posts
Reusable pad??? That’s just … I don’t even have words for it.
guest
Wow…..
guest
haha the tights aren’t so bad but the rest…
well at least they’re re-using and recycling i suppose : X
magnolia / 1066 posts
@christ_has_bled@xanga - I’m not understanding all the people saying “OMG resuable pad GROSS!” you WASH THEM. its the same idea as cloth diapers….or even washing your clothes. if you got something gross on your favorite shirt and it came out in the wash you’d still wear it. same concept. honestly! its better for you and the environment and completely hygenic.
in reponse to the actual post…yeah this stuff is horrible hahahah
guest
I love etsy. Though all those things are rather ugly except for the tights I would totally wear those.
guest
I’ve found some great things one Etsy, but those are just crazy! I’m excited to check out Regretsy.
guest
I refuse to accept the vampire pad as reality.
I refuse. There’s no way someone would make something like that, or worse, BUY IT.
Nope. Not true. Didn’t happen.
guest
I can’t decide if those are horrible or awesome.
guest
I actually think that ring is gorgeous. A bit bulky. The barbie one is hilarious though. They have nice earrings.
guest
@ a complete and utter loss for words except – ugh… well, maybe WTF? too
guest
No, and I don’t like them one bit.
guest
The tights are actually okay, given that they really are embellished with Swarovski crystals, lol.
guest
BAHA. YES. Another site to add to my mental cbf-to-study/procrastination-now-plz list.
guest
some people just.. shouldnt make stuff
guest
The pad is actually the coolest one, lmao XDD It’s not that bad, in fact, i want one! hahaa. Sure it would be ok if you washed it in super hot water every time you used it. It’s better than the pain of messed up…well ya know.
guest
omg!!! lmao ppl actually pay that much money 4 this crap?? anyone can make those hippie sweatpants 4 god-sake… what the hell is wrong w/ ppl??
guest
i think i’m gonna order my reusable pad right this minute!
guest
turtle, i like but wouldnt wear. the pad… is an interesting… concept. we should be humble and remember in other countries, they use reusable pads… and cloth. they did fine and it’s probably been forever since. but vampire… eh… not so cool. anyways, everything else is ugly and overpriced… and i mean OVERPRICED homieee.
guest
omg, i wonder what kind of people would buy these stuff…geek?
guest
I think the tights aren’t bad but everything else was a bit… over the top.
guest
People actually buy that shit..?
Fascinating.
guest
@PerkyPunk8064@xanga - But there’s a picture, which goes along with Rule 32 of the Internet!
guest
@xXx_Silent_Tears_XxX@xanga - hahahaha nice.
guest
i actually quite like the embellished tights… everything else you are right about.
guest
L.O.L
guest
@yankeesrock92715@xanga - yeah but at least you’re not adding tons of non-recyclable waste to landfills.
dahlia / 2012 posts
Regretsy is cruel. I would be so hurt and humiliated if I ever found something I made on that site. Granted, I don’t think that’ll ever happen because my stuff isn’t bad, but still… be nice. People have invested a lot of time and effort into these things.
I’m tremendously disappointed that Lovelyish would promote that site.
guest
hahahhahhaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
guest
All this stuff is so weird..
guest
those prices are ridiculous. LOL
guest
LOL wow. all of those products are doin the most!!!
daisy / 723 posts
STrange stuff :/
Re-usable pad is a good idea, but It’s really cheapper in organic cotton… and more hygiénic I think ! I prefer moon cup personnaly.
guest
ew. No thanks
sunflower / 295 posts
umm.. no.. not for me :/
sunflower / 348 posts
I kind of like the turtle ring…
The worst one are the hippie pants though! $135!?!?!?!?
guest
tbh i kind of like the tights and that ring! lmao.
but.. well.. maybe not tights THAT ripped.
guest
WOW.
guest
they are all so horrible.. and dam.. the prices..
guest
……yeeeeeah. those tights and sweater are SO overpriced.
and soooo ugly.
I kinda like the turtle, but not as a ring. I’d keep it as a little desk decoration if anything lol
guest
The turtle ring and maybe the mermaid clip would be good for costumes. I think a lot of the people on Etsy are renaissance festival kind of people, and that fits right in with that sort of thing. The rest though… woooow.
guest
Okay, these were pretty terrible, but a smaller version of the ring would be pretty cool and I like distressed tights, although those are a bit much…
Regretsy sound kind of hilarious, I just hope they don’t give the sellers’ names…
guest
The turtle’s not bad, but the others are bleh.
guest
If you like looking up the awful finds on etsy, you should check out “REGRETsy”
http://www.regretsy.com/
guest
i love etsy. unfortunately, a lot of the stuff i like is overpriced. :/ oh well, it’s fun to look at.
<3 micalyn
guest
the turtle is cute.. but weird as a ring.
more like put it on for 5 seconds when you sit and do nothing. take it off as soon as you make any movements.
guest
I really like the tights. Everything else is… odd. Ew. Menstrual pads.
guest
I actually like the turtle ring. I wouldn’t wear it. I would actually leave it on display on a ring cushion
guest
what the fuck.
guest
the turtle ring is kind of cool o.o
orchid / 153 posts
oh my lord. the vampire pad tops all.
hydrangea / 52 posts
Very nice compilation. I guess a lot of people compare their pricings to established designers, but their pieces are hideous!
guest
the prices make everything uglier… especially those tights 85 bucks???
guest
@sincerelySUNKiSSED@xanga - My thoughts exactly.
guest
i dont like it… but interesting
guest
the bell bottom sweat pants and the mermaid clip are the WORST
some stuff on etsy is great though, i bought some cool stationary where it has seeds and it can grow plants after the recipient enjoys the message.
guest
Lady Ga-Ga probably shops at Etsy.
guest
bellbottoms, .. sweatpants and a couple of non matching skirts, oh god oh god oh god
guest
The turtle ring is actually quite beautiful, I probably wouldn’t be able to wear it normally…but it would work for a Fashion show of some sort. Glad I didn’t run into these things. XD Oh god Pop Bangles.
daffodil / 1540 posts
i actually like that ring, it doesn’t look very practical though.
the rest is ugly.
guest
Would people actually buy some of that stuff? For those prices?? Like $85 for ripped, holey tights? I don’t think so. Or that “party sweater” um…how about no.
guest
I freakin’ LOVE that pad!! I have to find that fabric and makes some
I think its Alexander Henry fabric…off to look….
guest
But I love those tights…
Saw them on the person’s blog who made them and, imo, they’re awesome.
The ring is also really cool! The only problem is that it is not very practical, you cannot just put it on every day because it most probably won’t suit your outfit.
The others, though, truly are weird, and ugly, I agree.
guest
Love etsy, Love all the weird stuffs too, you all should check out my shoppe- Yeah a little weird in th naming of things, but all of my jewelry is very affordable and very wearable! Mostly what I make are one of a kind items pertaining to vampires werewolf’s, pirates, etc… fun stuff! ENJOY!!!! And tell a friend!
