Shop FAQ

Why are your prices in US dollars?
Lost At E Minor has an office in New York and another in Newcastle, Australia. So we straddle two different time zones and currencies [thank you Skype!]. We had to make a choice in our store to use one currency or the other and as most of our purchases come from America, it makes more sense for the default currency of the store to be in US dollars. That said, we adjust the prices of any goods emanating from outside of America so that, if you’re living in Australia, Europe or Asia, you shouldn’t be paying any more for the items than you would if the prices were in your local currency.

How do I find a specific item?
You can browse the store by typing a specific item or category into the search box which is in the top right hand corner of the home page. Or you can click on one of the category sub-sections under the Navigation header on the home page.

What types of products do you sell?
We hand-pick goodies that we love and think you’ll love, too. Most of the items we sell have also been posted on the Lost At E Minor website. They are the work of some of the hottest young designers, fashion labels, illustrators, artists and jewelry craftspeople out there and you’ll find prints, t shirts, jewelry, cameras, wallets and more. Yes, we like more. We add new products regularly, so if you don’t find something you like this time around, check back again shortly.

Can I sell my goods through the store?
Yes! Yes! You betcha. If you’re a clothing designer, create cool artwork, make jewellery, or sell something interesting, then we’d love to find out more about it. The first step is to complete the form on this page. We’ll check your stuff out, and if we think it’s a good fit for our discerning readership, we’ll contact you and fill you in on the terms and conditions.

Will I be notified once my order is dispatched?
If it is just one item being sent to you, you’ll be sent an email notification when the product is shipped. If you’ve bought items from more than one product category, you may not be sent the notification because it is most likely that the components of your order will be sent from different parts of the world, by different retailers, and the order dispatch email is only enabled for single retailer orders.

We asked New York-based photographer Baldomero Fernandez about his Cuba series and whether there was a particular mood that he was looking to capture: ‘Usually I tend to photograph quiet scenes that are empty and have a feeling of solitude. The surreal part that comes through is usually more because of anachronisms, or maybe something is just out of place. It’s not straightforward surrealism. Reality usually tends to be far stranger than fiction’. There’s an exclusive interview with Baldomero Fernandez on the Feature Shoot website.

Do the Norwegians know something we don’t? On a remote island near the North Pole they’re going to build a seed vault that is able to survive future cataclysmic events such as asteroid strikes, nuclear war or climate change. Read more

The new range of Alexander Wang for Uniqlo just hit stores this week in New York. This is the perfect collaboration for budget-minded fashionistas, allowing us to wear Alexander Wang at an affordable cost (in the $50-60 range). Read more

I was rulking (half-run; half-walk) through the inner city a little while back, killing time and thoughts with mindless banter (yes, one way conversations have their benefits) when I noticed a grown man crying hysterically on the opposite side of the road to me. Read more

Illustrator Dallas Clayton has just published an awesome book called, wait for it, An Awesome Book. It’s a ridiculously cute, heart-rending children’s book, encouraging kids and adults alike to never lose our senses of wonder and imagination (psst, it could make a great late gift idea!)

Australian group Pivot have recently signed with the mighty Warp label and — even better (well, for us anyway) — have written a fun Secret Playlist for us. You can see where the many disparate influences have seeped into their latest recording, the beautiful and colourful, O Soundtrack My Heart.

Metal icon Peter Tägtgren has produced the harshest and most underground music of the European metal scene — Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, Celtic Frost, among many others. His own band, Hypocrisy, is one of the most revered melodic death metal bands in the world. Read more

Alex Passapera

Alex Passapera’s dizzying pen and ink drawings are cascades of images melting into one another, often looking like contorting, mutating creatures spewing blood-like ink splatters. Read more

Kris Kuksi

Good thing Kris Kuksi channelled the trauma of growing up with an alcoholic stepfather, his disdain for ‘the typical American life and pop culture’, and his fascination with the macabre into obsessive, baroque assemblages, paintings, and drawings. Read more

Trip out with Sparrow Vs Sparrow’s retro illustrations, I love their aesthetic, color use and sense of humor. Read more

Scanners’ new single Salvation

I love this track by London based rock group, Scanners, which is off their latest album, Submarine. Having toured with acts such as The Horrors, The Wedding Present, The Charlatans, Electric Six, and Juliette & The Licks, Scanners could well blow up in 2010. Figuratively speaking, not literally. No, that wouldn’t be fun.

Charlie Immer

Charlie Immer’s pastel-pallete sometimes obfuscates the gory violence in his surreal images. At other times, it heightens the gut-wrenching and visceral effect of his work. Read more
