Dear FT, as an online blogshop owner and buyer myself, I would like to express my view on something.
Recently, I sold a shirt to this girl, A. It was sent through postage and so I told her to inform me onced she received it. And when she did, she complained that the shirt smelled!
HELLOOOO??? Have anyone ever noticed that new shirts or shirt has a particular "new smell"? Including those from MNG, PDI, GUESS etc. I have to admit that that particular shirt's "New clothing" smell was a lil bit stronger than the rest.
For the past few months that I have been running my online biz, I have ever never washed the clothes for sale on my blog (unless there is a slight stain or something) just so the future buyer would know that it is infact, brand new and that I did not take it and wear it for myself and then put it up for sale. Like I said previously, I've bought a couple of clothes from numerous online blogs and I ALWAYS wash them myself when I receive them. I mean you can't expect us to wash every single piece of clothing which we bought to sell to you girls now can we? Plus, some of them have really delicate, handsewn beads and what not and would require washing by hand.
And I would like to ask you all out there. Do you think that blogshop owners should wash each and every piece of new clothing that they put up for sale on our blog? Including those that require washing by hand? Or should we leave it to the buyers to wash it themselves as some of us would find that it still requires washing even after the blogshop owner said it's alrealdy been washed.
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!

Funny issue! To me E-shop Owner definitely NO NEED to wash a clothes they put for sale. Will Topshop wash their clothes before sell it to u?! IN my personal experience , i did bought a T-shirt from an online boutique which is extremely smelly. =p Maybe is "old stock smell"!
Hmmm.. washing every single piece? Absolutely no way! But I do wash the clothes when there's stains esp. white clothes. (:
Just wash when necessary. But better preserved that 'new from factory or fabric' smell whenever we could. or else, the customer will accuse the buyer for saying the item brand new but already being used/washed~hehhe
Unless absolutely necessary--like if it really really smells weird then it's probably better if you wash it :) if not fussy customers might complain :p [as like in situation]
