About Us
Where Dark Romance Meets Timeless Nostalgia
Welcome to Something Slightly Different — a carefully curated haven for those who walk a little apart from the ordinary. We believe that what you wear and how you adorn your world should tell your story: one of depth, beauty, and a touch of the extraordinary.
Our Story
Something Slightly Different was born from a decade of passion — years spent immersed in the world of gothic, alternative, and modern vintage fashion, learning what makes a piece truly special. After ten years of experience sourcing and celebrating the unconventional, we returned with a re-imagined shop: one that brings together the finest in dark romance and timeless nostalgia under one roof.
We're not a faceless warehouse. We're enthusiasts, just like you — people who understand the thrill of finding that perfect piece that feels like it was made for you.
What We Curate
Every item in our collection is chosen with intention. From the darkly romantic to the delightfully vintage-inspired, we source from trusted names in alternative fashion — brands like Banned Apparel, Dancing Days, Necessary Evil, and more — alongside unique home décor and accessories that bring your aesthetic into every corner of your life.
We don't do ordinary. We do somethung slightly different.
Our Promise
Whether you're a long-time devotee of the alternative scene or just beginning to explore your darker, more romantic side, you'll find something here that speaks to you. We're committed to quality, authenticity, and a shopping experience that feels as unique as the pieces we carry.
Thank you for being part of our story. We're so glad you found us.
Unearthing the Extraordinary Since 2013
Some things never go out of style: rebellion, individuality, and a killer wardrobe.
Our journey began in the digital ether in 2013, but our true spirit was found in the vibrant, real-world energy of the 'Alt and Burlesque Show'. It was a privilege to have our stalls there, curating unique finds for a community that thrives on being different. It was an era we’ll never forget.
The show may be a ghost of the past, but our spirit remains. We have returned online, channelling a decade of experience into a new, re-imagined shop. Our quest continues: to scour the earth for breathtaking alternative, gothic, and modern vintage clothes and accessories.
We are still seeking that perfect corner of the world to set up our stalls again, but for now, we invite you to explore our new online collection. We're ready to help you discover those amazing finds that feel like they were made just for you. Welcome back.
Remembering the Alt & Burlesque shows back when we first started selling in person to our amazing customers, people from all walks of life with all kinds of needs and wants, our fusion between modern vintage and alternative and gothic style were the perfect match . And lets be honest, the shows were great as well!
Alt & Burleque Show memories!
