Alternatives to Polyvore for Etsy Sellers part 1

Today my friends I would like to share my experience with Urstule . When I first joined I thought that it wouldn't be useful for my Etsy shop VintageJewelries  because I couldn't upload my own items. 

That recently changed and now we can add our items and besides that now we have the ability to import our sets from Polyvore to the site

In order to do that you must first download your work from Polyvore 

To download your own sets sign in here /account-update.polyvore.com/ and request download. When your content is ready you will be able to download a zip file with your set



After that register or login to Urstyle and then open EDIT PROFILE page. Click IMPORT YOUR OD PROFILE button. Upload the ZIP file you have downloaded from POLYVORE and wait for your file to upload (it might take up to an hour)



I have done it yesterday and all my sets were uploaded ok . Unfortunately only our sets can be imported and not our collections or items cause according to Ssense they weren't user-generated and for that reason they can not be shared


Also now we can add our own items. It's quite simple, you just 

  1. Open site with the chosen picture.
  2. Right click on a picture.
  3. Copy image address.
  4. Open ITEMS tab on a profile page.
  5. Click ADD ITEMS button.
  6. Paste image address into image URL input.
  7. Click SEND button.



The difference with trendMe so far is that we can not put an affiliate link in our items to redirect someone to our listing and we can not add a price. Also I couldn't find an option to delete or edit an item once it is uploaded.

Finally when creating a set we have the ability to custom cut a picture, so here is my first set featuring my amethyst ring

Hope you find useful this post and I will try to keep you updated with all the changes

Alternatives to Polyvore for Etsy Sellers

On October 5 2016 Etsy retired a much beloved feature called Treasuries. After long searches many Etsian sellers turned to Polyvore, a site that gave them the ability to share their items on all social media while creating fabulous fashion or art sets. Below you can see an example of a treasury I created a long time ago featuring items that I loved from other shops and a Polyvore fashion set that I made for my Etsy shop Vintage Jewelries featuring my earrings.






Unfortunately on April 5 2018, Polyvore was sold to a Canadian Fashion Seller who shutted down the site without any prior notice.

Once again Etsians sellers have to find a way to promote their items on social media . From what I have read alternatives are 






and finally



I only tried trendMe cause so far it was the only site that I could upload my items and use them in my sets. Of course it’s no Polyvore. Users can flip flop and duplicate items, add texts and backgrounds but till now lacks quantity of items and frames and most of all the ability of custom cutting and the templates which I found very helpful when I created my sets. Also it lacks a tool like Polyvore Clipper to add your items easily.

Today I made a video tutorial to show you how you can add your items on trendMe. Additional help can be found in FAQ on trendMe



According to my knowledge the sites that I mentioned above are promising that in the near future will add more features like Polyvore did. I will try to check them frequently and inform you.

Hope that the above information helped you.
