eFashionHouse.com ushers in spring with new arrivals, savings up to 50% and adds three new handbag designers – Melie Bianco, Murval and Elaine Turner.
Sky Valley, CA (PRWEB) March 26, 2008 — After months of winter fashion accessories, spring is finally on its way and eFashionHouse.com celebrates with savings of 25-70% on the latest trends in designer handbags. Committed to offering shoppers the best online prices for purses, eFashionHouse.com, named Best of the Web by People StyleWatch for below retail priced designer handbags and recognized by About.com as the top of three online retailers of off-priced Chanel, just added hundreds of new designer handbags from Marc Jacobs, Prada, Chanel, Gucci, Anya Hindmarch, Isabelle Fiore, Coach, Tano and many more top designers, just in time for spring. The site also added three new designer fashion brands – Melie Bianco, Murval and Elaine Turner – to its huge selection of designer handbags for even more savings.
“We are excited to add Melie Bianco, Murval and Elaine Turner handbags because the handbag demand has changed from including not only the big designer names to now welcoming other chic designers with more affordable prices,” said Anna Miller, eFashionHouse Owner. “Regardless of the Economy, women still want to buy themselves a new purse, and making affordable prices available online is the purpose of eFashionHouse where you do not have to spend a fortune to carry a new quality designer handbag.”
With all purses priced under $100, both Melie Bianco and Murval are known for their trendy styles and amazing prices. A favorite among fashion editors, Melie Bianco has been featured in an array of magazines, like Marie Claire, People, Cosmopolitan and Self, because it is “chic and affordable” line (prices range from $30-$75) features funky and wearable styles perfect for the trendy fashionista. Another brand that is known for offering the look of couture without the high price, French company MURVAL was created by two sisters, Muriel and Valerie, who recognized the need for fashionable accessories at accessible prices. With its bags costing less than $50, MURVAL comes out with two collections a year and despite the low price points scores high among the fashion crowd.
Though not in the under $100 category, Dallas-based fashion designer Elaine Turner is still considered a bargain since her line features the finest embossed exotic leathers and signature painted grass cloth bags. Elaine Turner quickly rose to the ranks of the fashion It Bag and the brands popularity continues to grow because of its distinct and creative approach to classic looks in handbags and accessories.

One of the most popular British exports is the Burberry handbag. Burberry is a favorite of the rich elite and celebrity crowd around the world. Sporting a Burberry handbag is a status symbol as well as a tasteful fashion statement.
The Burberry handbag has been around for more than 150 years and began its evolution in a small village in England. Thomas Burberry, the company’s founder, was a fabric genius who is credited not only with the creation of the classic Burberry plaid, but also the invention of gabardine, a waterproof fabric first used by the military and then adopted by Hollywood actors.
The Burberry brand is very British and stands for very high-end luxury. Burberry is well-known for its outdoor wear, but these days is much better known for their classically designed handbags. If you walk into a Burberry store, be prepared to pay on average around $600-$1000 for that stylish designer bag. For this reason, shopping online for an authentic Burberry handbag is where all the bargains are.
So now you’ve decided that you’ve just got to have a Burberry handbag or two for your own stylish wardrobe. Searching for a discount Burberry handbag online is definitely a smart move. There are some great discounts and even outright steals on Burberry bags. However, don’t expect to get any of the latest up-to-the-minute styles. Realistically, you’ll find that most of the discounted styles are a year or more old – a few are even vintage.
Most of these older handbags are in great shape, so if your goal is to own an authentic Burberry handbag, you can do it. You’ll see that you can find a discount Burberry handbag in many styles and color pattern choices. Some styles are pure leather on the outside with the famous check pattern on the inside. This wide and varied selection makes shopping for Burberry handbags online fun.
While you can definitely find great online deals on Burberry bags, you’ll need to shop with a healthy “BUYER BEWARE” attitude. Because Burberry handbags are so popular and in high demand, many fakes are offered up as authentic. You can avoid buying fakes by being a discriminating shopper and knowing what to look for in an authentic Burberry handbag.
Authentic Burberry handbags are made with high-quality leather and materials. While the famous Burberry check patterns come in other colors besides the well-known black, white, peach and red (Nova), try to become familiar with the various authentic check patterns. It’s easy to fake a check pattern, but it won’t look exactly like a Burberry or have the same quality.
Look for the Burberry logo to appear on the handbag itself, in the inside of the handbag (will usually say Burberry London or Burberry London Blue Label, etc.), on the bottom of the bag, and on the hardware. Make sure you’re comfortable with the seller.
While you’re discount shopping, keep in mind that there are people online who will try to sell you a fake Burberry. If you shop with a discriminating eye and check out the seller adequately, you’ll be able to avoid these con artists.
All in all, you should have a good time indulging in your Burberry handbag passion. With so many styles to choose from, you’re bound to find that perfect bag that goes with that special outfit.
Today, Burberry remains a distinctive line of luxury clothing and other types of apparel, such as handbags, swimwear, and lingerie. Its trademarked black, red, and white check pattern that was first used in its line of trench coats – known as novacheck – is copied by lines around the world. The checked design can now also be found on its luggage, scarves, umbrellas, and other items.

eFashionHouse.com Goodie Bags filled with an assortment of designer accessories at a fraction of their retail cost. Great gift idea, and an easy way to say, “Thank You” “Happy Birthday” “Welcome.” Click here.Of course, the Internet was around during the shallow recession of 2001, and almost 50% of Americans were using it. But it was not yet embedded in our way of life, largely because broadband penetration was, at the time, only about 20%. Today, more than 70% of the population is online, with more than 80% of these Internet users having high-speed access.
The Internet has empowered consumers as never before, providing previously unknown and unimagined opportunities to make informed decisions with detailed information, product ratings, expert and user-generated reviews and price comparisons on anything from computers to coffee beans to cat food.
In good times, when consumers feel cash-rich and time-poor, they can afford to be less diligent about their spending. But as economic pressures mount, sentiment changes. People feel cash-poor and are more willing to invest time and effort in getting the best deal.
What sets the current recession apart is that, for the first time, consumers have a tool that empowers them to subject everyday buying decisions to the kind of scrutiny formerly reserved for big-ticket items and large business-to-business transactions. Marketers should anticipate this shift. They will not be able to rely on ads to pull the wool over consumers’ eyes–or on imagery to wow them. Maybe even more important, it won’t be as easy for companies to control the expense line to make up for the loss of top-line revenues. In past downturns, cutting corners on quality has been a virtually foolproof way to cut costs and boost margins, at least in the short-run.
Not this time. Not when consumers can set the bar higher and easily find what they want at the lowest possible price. Not when any degradation of product quality or crummy service experience is subject to being instantly “outed” by the bloggers and reviewers on the myriad user-generated consumer review sites. “Caveat emptor” now has a companion: “seller beware.” Even the slightest marketing chicanery is liable to be instantly pilloried on a global network, especially when consumers are fearful and on edge. A confluence of factors has increased the likelihood of more consumers turning to the Internet to manage their way through their personal household recessions.
Let’s start with the price of gas. Shopping online is just less expensive than driving to a store. Depending on how and where you shop, you can find tax savings and shipping deals online. And the downturn is dovetailing with a plethora of new, category-specific consumer review sites. Joining broad-based veterans like Epinions, BizRate and CNET are narrowly-focused comparison shopping sites specializing in coffee, beauty products or pet supplies. (PetSmart, Pet Street Mall ).
There’s also been an explosion of online retailers: from Amazon and its brethren, to the online divisions of bricks-and-mortar retailers, to the many niche stores that exist only online. And then there are the Internet’s versions of “mom and pops,” “stores” that do business within the cozy confines of eBay! (nasdaq: EBAY – news – people ) or Craigslist. It all adds up to a bonanza of choices for cash-strapped consumers–and a new set of challenges for those who sell to them.
Virtually anyone selling anything should be online, with as much sophistication as they can afford or muster. And they should follow two cardinal rules: –Maintain quality and don’t over-promise. When anyone who uses your product or service can readily find an audience to whom to complain, the road from credibility to ruin is very short.
–Keep a close eye on pricing. The online dynamic is totally different than having customers in your store, where they might be willing to pay a premium because they’re there. Facing a page of pricing options online, shoppers can go to another “store” in a matter of seconds. Online shopping–and the use of price-comparison engines and consumer-generated reviews to make buying decisions–has been growing steadily throughout the decade. The recession is going to supercharge that growth as current users find new categories in which to shop online and as millions of others jump in to manage their shrinking budgets.
As shoppers become increasingly comfortable with the process during this downturn, it is likely that the combination of convenience and easy-access to comparative information could cause enduring changes in consumer behavior.

AMSTERDAM: Skimpy skirts and revealing tops are making way for designer gowns and luxury hand bags in Amsterdam’s red light district as part of a drive to ditch the area’s seedy image.
Fifteen young Dutch designers opened stores in former brothels on Saturday, displaying their creations in the tall windows where prostitutes recently sat touting for business. “It is time for a change here,” deputy mayor of Amsterdam Lodewijk Asscher said at the launch of the city-backed fashion push. “Amsterdammers ought to able to feel proud of this area.”
The city council is getting tough on the 800 year-old red-light district, pledging to stamp out crime and human trafficking by revoking the licences of suspect sex clubs and brothels, including some of the industry’s best-known names. By allowing the designers to occupy former brothels for a year free of charge it hopes to breathe new life into the area and attract visitors more interested in shopping than ogling sex workers.
But the “Red-light fashion” project has angered local window prostitutes. “The women here fear it will affect their earnings because the shops will bring the kind of visitor who wants nothing to do with them,” said Metje Blaak of the sex workers union. Many in the tourist industry acknowledge the red light district — a warren of narrow alleys and canals lined with sex shops, peep shows and brothels — is as big an attraction as Amsterdam’s art museums and coffee shops, where marijuana is smoked and sold.
“They’d lose so much money if they shut it down,” said 25-year-old English tourist Max, who said the drugs and the women had attracted him to Amsterdam. The city’s new tougher line is part of a wider trend in the Netherlands of tightening laws sanctioning coffee shops and prostitution. Under current plans up to a third of all the sex windows and brothels could close. ashion designer Edwin Oudshoorn told the first visitors to his shop he hoped he could work side-by-side with the prostitutes. The 27-year-old has ripped out the neon lights and put up yellow wallpaper to show off his womenswear collection.”When I first came in here it was really disgusting, but within a week I made it my own,” he said. “Now it is my own little doll’s house.”

Johanna Cox, a 27-year-old analyst for a defense contractor in Washington, D.C., spends her free time writing in her blog, called “A serious job is no excuse.” As her site explains, she gives fashion advice to professional women who work in the nation’s capital and “who think their serious jobs are a valid excuse for dressing the ill-fitted, office-inappropriate, comfort-first way females in this city tend to dress.” To help these style-challenged women, Cox makes suggestions for skirts, tops, dresses, handbags and shoes. She includes the designer, the retailer and, of course, the link to the company’s Web site, where users can buy the item in a matter of minutes. For the busy fashionista, the site is like having an electronic personal stylist. But increasingly for retailers, blogs such as the one Cox writes are a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Fashion companies, from established labels to indie designers, are looking more and more to blogs as a marketing tool that allows them to establish a new relationship with their customers and to advertise their products. But the cozy relationship among some of these blogs and retailers raises concerns about their independence.Industry experts say that fashion houses are drawn to blogs for several reasons. At a time when the choices for consumers multiply by the hour, finicky shoppers feel more inclined to buy from someone they trust, and that is just the kind of effect blogs have on their regular visitors.Also, by advertising or promoting merchandising through a blog, companies can sell a glamorous image like the ones on the glossy pages of top magazines, at a much lower cost.
“Blogs led to an increase in sales in companies, especially in fashion,” said Justin Stefano, one of the founders and the executive director of Refinery29, a digital fashion publication. One reason is that bloggers find out about fashion opportunities faster than they used to, Stefano said.Companies don’t want customers just looking at these blogs. They want them to speak out about how they feel about a particular skirt, top or pair of stilettos. A blog makes possible a spontaneous, candid reaction that can be as valuable as pricey market research.
“Fashion blogs are a huge new marketing trend and have created a new way in which companies can ‘read’ the public reaction to their latest collection, campaign, etc.,” said Sherri L. Koetting, co-founder and principal of MSLK Graphic Design.Blogger Daniel Saynt, president of Fashion Indie Media, a group that promotes young designers, said: “I write a post about a designer’s collection and immediately you see posts from people that say I agree with you or not.”
However, there are some concerns about the trustworthiness of the bloggers. If what defines them is their independence and honesty, the close relationship bloggers develop with the retailers and the expensive gifts some of them receive raise questions about their credibility over time.For example, Elisabeth Fourmont, the woman behind “La Coquette,” was one of the bloggers invited to the opening of the new Gucci store in New York recently. She was flown in from Paris, where she lives.She posted an entry on her blog about her trip and told readers that she’d been given an $800 Gucci handbag, free.
“I’m thinking about putting it on top of my toilet, like people do with their Oscars, to play down the majesty,” she wrote.Fourmont did not respond to e-mailed questions about the posting, but Stefano thinks that there is no danger for the bloggers to lose credibility.”They are a very savvy bunch,” he said. “They tend to be very independently minded. They might go to those parties and take those handbags, but in the end what keeps their content relevant is that independence.”Stefano said that the blogger community keeps the members honest and that if readers feel that a certain blogger’s content is compromised, the blogger loses traffic.Susie Bubble, a blogger and freelance journalist who runs the blog StyleBubble, says she is contacted daily by fashion companies and designers who ask her to review items because they value her opinion.
“The general rule is I don’t feature anyone who I don’t genuinely like and feel is appropriate for Style Bubble,” she wrote in an e-mail. “I don’t really accept free samples either with obligations to write about things.”But in some cases, designers or retailers contact blogs directly to help them market their products.On Valentine’s Day, for example, Glam Chic, a blog associated with Glam.com, tried to console readers who didn’t have a significant other to celebrate with by linking to an offer for “retail therapy.” The promotion was offered by Yoox, a multi-brand virtual boutique, and it suggested exchanging a Valentine for a Valentino in an online sample sale.
Companies also directly advertise in blogs. Some groups even connect the bloggers with the retailers that want to advertise in them.One of these is Glam Media, a publisher network of more than 400 lifestyle sites and blogs that caters to a national and international female audience. The group distributes advertising among the blogs that are part of the network, explains Lane Buschel of Morris + King Company, which handles the public relations for Glam Media in New York.Bloggers don’t always look to the high-powered fashion houses for material for their blogs. In the-coveted.com, the blogger, who lives in San Francisco, announced that she’s moving to Europe and is selling her wardrobe. She posted pictures of herself wearing the clothes. Clicking on the pictures gives users a link to e-Bay, where a tweed coat or a dress is going for a decidedly unfashionable but attention-grabbing $9.99.
