Heres a page dedicated to more whimsigoth / 90s goth / romantic gothic styles.
taking a moment to appreciate the softer aspects of the subculture and the run off from 80's trad



Currently super into these decorative items from the 1996 Sactuary Catalog,
I wonder if theres a second-hand market for these or if I should put them on a thrift store hunting list
The angel insence burner and and cross candle holder need to be in my possession at some point
I also quite like this "Amber Bead Lamp" and will report back if I can find a higher quality image or maybe a resale listing
Although I do somewhat wish It was a chainmail-esqe tiffany style glass lampshade,
as I wrongly assumed it was at first glance



I think something worth noting in this catalog collection is a bold departure from the sharper "industrial" look
thats really common with the 80s goth visual aesthetic.
One of the things I appreciate the most is the influence of the medieval era / fantasy as well as catholiscism.
Perhaps this has to do with the popularity of dark fantasy and dungeons & dragons in the decade prior



One item of note is this mens sweatshirt
This design with the sanctuary logo looks incredibly of the 2020's despite being from '96
Very instagram designer fast fashion tiktok shop




Unfortunately this beautiful jewelry is all gold, I am remiss that there is no silver options
for those of us with cool undertones.




I would also like to take a moment to acknowledge how much I love the visuals of the "Gwains World"
