Listed are also the most popular products and products that are ready to be shipped.

Overall, the scope of the clothing and accessories are very wide and varied. The simple and large icon display for the products allow us to browse through the mall conveniently.

The pros of this website is that it also has customer service and a Q&A section for you to inquire on delivery, payment, cancellation/refund/change products.
The cons of this website is its pricey products and minimum sum of USD 300.00 required. Also the company has no branches in Singapore yet, so there will not be any opportunity for you to go down to the shop. This increases the risk factor of online shopping.

It is basically a physical shop in the virtual network with all the customer services available.

However, registration is required before you can select any of the items for further viewing/ information. So privacy may be an issue if you decide not to buy but still have to become a registered member.

Did I mention that they also give monthly discounts? Discounts are issued as e-cash into the members' account for redemption in the next purchase. Which is a great incentive to shop.

This website can be used in the teaching of Consumer & Textile lessons by showing and reviewing the current fashion and trends. Teachers can direct students to look at the products and determine if these are good buys. Teachers can also direct students to look at the FAQs and customer service platforms of the site, as well as the online mode of payment and to consider follow-up service as part of their decision making process.
