I’m not a big fan of these social shopping sites like Fab or One Kings Lane. I actually think they may be the ruination of society as we know it…not really but we should be saving that scrilla for the next big trip,not purchasing robot shaped tea infusers, right? Having said that,I spent an enormous amount of time yesterday perusing the newly launched site called Bly, which is like a virtual flea market. Bly will visit a new city every two months and feature local artisans and vintage wares. This month they are in Mumbai,India. The photography and stories are incredible. You can almost hear the clatter of rickshaws and smell the aromas of the street (which in Mumbai may or may not be a good thing). Bly also gives back 5% of the proceeds from the collection to a local non-profit, which is great. In Mumbai that 5% will do mountains of good, so if you must buy that trinket, check out Bly. Next stop is La Paz. I can’t wait! Find Bly here: www.projectbly.com. Be prepared stay a while. It is fascinating.
