Can you keep a sale secret? Neither can I!

Net-a-porter is having a massive sale ( not yet open to international buyers) and as much as I’ve tried to resist the urge, I find myself constantly clicking back to the site. So for once and all, here is my list of items on sale that I want to get ( might not even get any of it). But I have to get it out of my head, and hey you might like some of them too, so get your shopping on. Share the love tell your friends!

Introducing: Svpply.com

Have you heard of svpply.com?

The new website that allows you to find the products you love, from the people and stores you find interesting.

Sounds familiar?

Yea, its kind of i like boutiques.com but cleaner. Or should we say minimalist.

We’ll try to keep from over-analyzing but whereas Boutiques.com has a more sophisticated interface and really does a better job with the initial “style test” I couldn’t seem to finish svpply.com “taste test” as it bugged out.

We gave up …

It also seems to have a whole lot of t-shirts and sneakers – seems more masculine and way more casual than the diversity of products that you can find on boutiques.com.

Maybe it just doesn’t have as many users (yet) as boutiques.com to make its interface as “sticky”, for now we’ll keep an eye on it.

We love the idea but we got frustrated and bored after 10 minutes on the site. It just seems like a tightly curated site that caters to the casual-street-hipster. Where are the products to droll/dream over, save money for and put on your Christmas wish-list.

I’m sure big improvements are in store as they’ve secured a VC backing from Spark Capital, same guys behind twitter and tumblr.

Try it let us know what you think.

E-commerce: Zara to sell clothes online

Yanique — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:43:00 +0000

Zara’s parent group Inditex will be taking it’s europen websites
towards new e-commerce levels with the announcement of the launch of a
e-shop for the UK, France, Italy and other european versions.

We’ll have to wait a while for the American site to start selling
clothes.

But judging from the instore collection thats a force to be reckoned
with in term of copying the styles of runway designers like Balmain
and Isabel Marant – at these prices even the frugalist of fashionistas
keep going back for more!
