# Luxury Goth Vintage Ivory by Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons By Design Crack | Published 2007-02-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-ivory-by-black-sheep-and-prodigal-sons References: [designcrack](http://designcrack.com/v2/2006/11/17/vintage-ivory-by-black-sheep-and-prodigal-sons/) & [blacksheepandprodigalsons](http://www.blacksheepandprodigalsons.com) This is one of my favorite finds so far. [Black Sheep](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-market) and Prodigal Sons is a store with the [well-to-do goth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotham-goods) in mind. The store and the website are reminiscent of my own San Francisco's Paxton Gate, however the focus is on [jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeweler-collective) where PG is taxidermy and gardening (huh?). The item I've included is a re-purposed piano key that has been augmented into a necklace. Scrimshaw holds a warm place in my heart, so this object was a no brainer to include. I believe equally important to Black Sheep is their buying experience. The packaging is creepy, and meticulously made, and I really appreciate the attention to detail. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Goth:** Opportunity for luxury fashion brands to incorporate dark, gothic aesthetics into their designs. - **Upcycled Jewelry:** Opportunity for jewelry brands to repurpose unexpected materials to create unique pieces. - **Creepy Packaging:** Opportunity for brands to enhance the overall customer experience with creative, attention-grabbing packaging. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Surge in demand for gothic fashion and accessories presents an opportunity for luxury fashion brands to diversify their product lines. - **Jewelry:** Growing trend towards upcycling and using unexpected materials presents an opportunity for jewelry brands to differentiate themselves and appeal to eco-conscious consumers. - **Retail:** Increasing focus on the overall customer experience presents opportunities for brands to invest in creative and unique packaging designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Luxe Holiday-Themed Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chteau-divoires.md) - [Unique Chain Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-chain-shop.md) - [High-End Organic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs.md) - [Opulent Smoking Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoking-accessories1.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Haunting Fine Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice.md) - [Thoughtful Home Accessories Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-accessories-shop.md) - [Hand-Blown Skincare Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scorpion-toad.md)
