FROM FT :
so sorry but we should have made certain points clear right at the beginning. some of u readers may be clear of these stuff because u all have been reading the site from the very beginning. but for the "newbies", they probably don't know about it.

so here it is:

Price Comparisons.
well it may not be an appropriate 'name' to some. so, shall we change the title? we were thinking of changing it to "alternatives". just that.

and also, some readers may not know why prices differ so much. is it because the sellers just want to make a higher profit? or are there reasons behind it?
here goes : [have been widely discussed in the earlier stages of this blog]

prices may differ because :
1. some sellers wanna earn more, some sellers settle for less profits. some sellers just want to price their items lower than the popular blogs just to attract more customers.
2. sellers do get cheated by the suppliers. different suppliers charge differently.
3. some sellers hire models to model their clothings
4. some sellers do have an 'offline boutique'. offline boutiques are usually more expensive than online boutiques
5. occasionally, some sellers import their items from overseas, but they didn't know that their items can be bought locally at a much lower price.
6. some sellers MAY HAVE included COD charges & postage charges into their stated price.

[do email us at fashion.truth@gmail.com if we miss out any! ]


anyway,
for now...
the SITE IS UNDER 'CONSTRUCTION'. do bear with us for the time being. lol. not major construction, just wanna draft out a proper "header/intro" so new readers dont get the wrong idea.

sellers/buyers/readers, do email us and give us your feedback on what else we should add on this blog / this header-or-intro / anything to clarify. thank u very much

*wont be updating for the next 3 days. meanwhile, we urge readers to write in to us ya!

thanks!

blogroll

e-shops that wants to be added into the blogroll, please send us an email at fashion.truth@gmail.com
would appreciate if u all could link us up too

price comparisons
1. only items which have a price difference of RM7/8 and above will be posted up.
2. the price used for this price comparison is the price stated on the e-shop's webpage. (i understand that sometimes prices for items may vary depending on customers. some e-shops just put a high price as to allow further bargaining by the customers.)

mailing list
we appreciate it if eshop owners remove us from their mailing list. we are not a fashion review site thus there's no need for us to receive mails from u all telling us that u've updated. just add us up and we'll link u up at the blogroll. with that, readers will know when u update.

thank u

Seller 20

A reply to Reader 106's entry…

Hi there!

Thanks for expressing your views about our pricing, as we have expected that some e-shoppers might find it expensive for an e-shop. However, many of our repeating customers find that the price is worth the quality of the bags.

True that the design has been seen on other blogs before, but our supplier doesn't make trendy or in-fashion bags but rather more good quality timeless pieces. Therefore it takes them longer to recreate the current trends, this is why it is out much later. It is also why they are able to produce great quality of such designs. We wouldn't say that other blogs carry bad quality products but rather that that's why it costs more for us to sell the products. Time is not necessary the only factor of pricing but also the workmanship and quality of an item.

We found that some of our bags are getting more pricy so we started to source for more affordable bags. So apart from the expensive bags like the one featured in the price comparison, we have Fringe Handbags and Braided Pleated Hobo Bag going below RM 50. When girls started looking for handbag organizers online, we decided to get our supplier to customize it for us, which now we sell at low profit.

Often when we participate in events, we tend to bring along our handbags even though it might be too pricy for shoppers to purchase it at an offline shopping event. But it gives them an opportunity to try, touch and see the products for themselves before they judge whether it is worth the price.

Anyhow, thanks for your feedback. We'll try and keep our prices in check at our very best.

Cheers
