CyberShop International, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We refer to the  registration  statement on Form S-1 (the  "Abbreviated
Registration Statement"), filed by CyberShop International, Inc. (the "Company")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended:

         575,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share
         ("Common Stock"), for the sale by the Company in an underwritten public
         offering, which includes amounts to be sold to cover over-allotments.

         The  shares of Common  Stock are to be issued  and sold with the Common
Stock registered  pursuant to the Company's  Registration  Statement on Form S-1
(Reg. No. 333-42707) which was declared effective March 20, 1998, pursuant to an
underwriting  agreement,  dated the date hereof (the "Underwriting  Agreement"),
between the Company and the Underwriters.

         As counsel to the Company,  we have  examined such  corporate  records,
documents, agreements and such matters of law as we have considered necessary or
appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination,
we advise you that in our opinion:

         The Common Stock to be sold by the Company to the Underwriters,  if and
         when  paid  for  and  issued  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the
         Underwriting  Agreement between the Company and the Underwriters in the
         form of  Exhibit  1.1 to the  Registration  Statement,  will be validly
         issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We are  members  of the bar of the State of New York,  and the  opinion
expressed herein is limited to questions  arising under the laws of the State of
New York, the General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal
law of the United States, and we disclaim any opinion whatsoever with respect to
matters governed by the laws of any other jurisdiction.

         We  consent  to  the  filing  of  this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Abbreviated  Registration Statement and to the references to this firm under the
caption  "Legal  Matters"  in the  Prospectus  which is part of the  Abbreviated
Registration Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,
