Where to Shop Online

Amazon.com (UK \ CA) - It might come as a surprise, but Amazon has a huge variety of Steampunk clothing and accessories. From women's corsets and skirts, to men's trousers and vests, there's a ton of Steampunk clothing. Shop for goggles, hats, toy blaster guns, leather harnesses, gauntlets, bracers, jewelry and almost any other Steampunk accessory. You can also pick up DIY essentials like small metal gears, loupe lenses, skeletons keys, bronze chains and sewing patterns. The clothing and accessories sold here are not necessarily as unique or high quality as other stores on our list, but they're almost always the cheapest. Amazon recently launched a 'Handmade' division as a direct competitor to Etsy, and that's worth checking out too: Amazon.com/Handmade. International shipping available on most items.
