The Fancy.com has come a long way since its beginnings as an invite-only photo blog. It’s now a Pinterest-like shopping platform that’s raising round after round and converting an impressive amount of sales.
And the site doesn’t just appeal to the everyday user: According to Fancy, plenty of the tech sector’s big names are fancying plenty of items site-wise. High-brow clientele including Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, and Daniel Ek are patrons of Fancy, in fact. Curious what they’ve been browsing and buying? Here’s a look.

Taking a brief look at Jack Dorsey’s“Fancied” products, it’s obvious someone likes the luxurious side of life. If you’re buying a gift for Dorsey, let me put it this way. Your safe bet is probably a Rolex or a Leica – if you can afford them. Dorsey also Fancies:
