Fantasmagoria Boutique: Sweet'n'Lethal
by HelluvaGirl
This post is long overdue but I guess I had to wait for the right spirits 🙂
Fantasmagoria boutique is definitely not the place I stroll in every now and then – I discovered it quite incidentally when this woman took me there, saying she needed an original coat she felt would be a hit after a couple of seasons (our kids go to the same private kindergarten – and who said the parents were only flashy snobs???).
I have never been to a place like that in Vilnius. Not sure it’s one of a kind but if you’re into the dark style, visit their website – the shopkeeper said they’d move to online business soon and as far as I know the boutique’s been closed in August.
The shop offers a wide assortment of clothes, outerwear, shoes, accessories and jewellery, all eye-catching and, truth must be said, I really loved some of the pieces – and I bought Pia two hair clips. It’s a treasury for souls wandering in white powdered faces, black/neon hair, and stealing dark eyeliner from their mums.
You don’t have to be a goth to buy one of those: some are much more stylish compared to the regular boutiques’ range – and very affordable:
This is the perfect answer to the Thai infatuation with Hello Kitty that I’ve witnessed: Bye Bye Kitty 😀 Thinking of buying it for Pia to go to the kindergarten.
The stylish shopkeeper – I really liked her fringe colour, so peacock! Can’t be indifferent to those…

Hey thanx for the article ;). We did closed the shop after 7 years of business, as unfortunately here in Lithuania we do not have enough ppl who dare to wear what we offer :). But our online shop is up and running at http://www.fantasmagoria.eu and we are opening the shop in Berlin (Germany) in 2012! ];)
Hellena, I wish your business the best of luck! Although the stuff’s not quite my cup of tea, I’m always happy to see various forms of creativity that help different people express who they are.
