Handbags At Dawn: It’s Sale Time.

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

You know what it’s like. You’ve been knee-deep in sequins, leather and colour-blocked separates for months now and then all of a sudden 70% off signs are spreading over everything you’ve been lusting after all season. You’re tempted just buy IT ALL. It’s a bargain, right? Well maybe not. Don’t end up blowing your hard-earned Christmas pay for pieces that will look dated by the time that awful New Year’s Eve hangover has worn off. I have to say, my “market research” this weekend (i.e. checking out the post-Christmas sales in town) – was pretty disappointing. The sales just weren’t all that great! Then again, neither were the crowds.

Sale Hell

Sale Hell

In the worst cases fights broke out at some of Britain’s top stores as shoppers jostled for the best bargains at Boxing Day sales. According to shoppers at Gucci, where £500 handbags, shoes and other goods were being sold at half price, a police van and four patrol cars raced to the scene after reports of punches being thrown. This confirms for me, more than ever, the best course of action is to stay home and shop online! Save on petrol, your self esteem(!) and know the bargains and barg-nots before you waste your time and money. Also online sales start earlier – so you can get the best bargains sooner online.

Drapers Etail Awards

Here at the Designer Desirables offices we have had the most fabulous start to the day! The reason for our early week excitement is that we find out we have been shortlisted for the Drapers Etail Awards 2010 in the Best New Etailer category!  For those who may not know Drapers is basically the fashion manual for the industry and to be recognised by such a prestigious company is simply marvelous. Along with 6 other brilliant websites including Amanda Wakely, Aphrodite Clothing, Davicore Clothing, farfetch.com, Matthew Willliamson and Pretty Disturbia, the Designer Desirables team will be travelling to the big smoke on January 28th 2010 for the awards ceremony which are being held in the super stylish Bloomsbury Ballroom.

All the girls at DD are over the moon to just be involved in such an event and in a time of tough trading, online retailing has seen many success stories so it’s great to celebrate this with other like minded businesses. We will of course bring you all the news, fashion styles and gossip from the event itself and a massive collective fingers crossed for the outcome, come on the North! X
