Snapette is a cute, fun mobile, location-based app that’s focused on the two things we care about the most: bags and shoes.

It feels like Instagram for accessories, but there’s more to it. First and foremost, the app allows tech-savvy fashionistas to share photos of in-store products by location, give social recommendations and comment on their friend’s choices.

It’s the the first mobile fashion app that tunes users into products near their current location, allowing them to easily see what shoes and bags are in nearby stores. Women can also see what’s trending globally by viewing what users around the world.

“While you’re out shopping, you can snap and share photos of your great shoe and bag finds, check Snapette to discover what styles are in stores near you, and also see what’s trending right now in New York, Paris, Tokyo or anywhere around the world–it’s like window shopping right from your phone,” says co-founder Jinhee Kim. “Plus, if you find another Snapette with great style you can ‘follow’ her and get updated on all her latest fashion finds.”

The “virtual closet” profile page collects and showcases photos of items users have Snapped, Like and Want, which can be shared via Facebook and Tumblr.

Snapette also showcases hot boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and London, providing users with an exclusive mobile view of the stores’ current product offerings. It gives users all the tools that they need to find the adorable accessories that they see on their phone.

Snapette’s all-female team is led by co-founders Kim and Sarah Paiji, both Harvard graduates. Snapette’s technical director Dr. SunHee Yoon is a post-doctorate researcher at Stanford University focusing on mobile platforms.

Check out this demo of Snapette on YouTube. We had such a blast with this app. If you need a hot pair of shoes ASAP, there could be no better resource. It tells you what’s close, what’s available, what’s new and what you friends think. Simply brilliant.
