Since 2005, BrandAlley has been developing close relationships with the biggest names in fashion and more than 140 brands, offering a premium and trusted environment to distribute excess stock, which they offer to BrandAlley at a reduced cost.
Members are then invited to benefit from these fantastic prices - but need to act fast as sales usually only last between two and four days, and open membership will close at the end of the month. Once the chance is gone, it’s gone! Founder membership is open now by registering online at www.brandalley.co.uk, but once the founder members’ list is closed, customers will need a personal invite from an existing member.
fashionista's paradise
UK consumers are starting to get wise to the idea that you don't have to spend like the stars to get a designer wardrobe.
For many of us, the whole Primark obsession has faded - eco-guilt means that we're so over the sweat shop prices. We still have an eye for style but the credit crunch is scaring most of us into buying fewer luxuries - so when we do, we want better quality, luxury brands- but at an accessible price.
The hottest new concept in shopping is the private sale - short term members only designer sales, which offer ginormous savings on real designer clothes. A major player in the private sale arena is BrandAlley- a recently launched UK based e-boutique which offerss members unvelievable reductions on designer pieces. Launched last month, BrandAlley is the place to go if you're a wannabe fashionista without the finance to fund your habit!
The first sales featured Chloé shoes, Damaris lingerie, D&G pieces for men and women, and men’s accessories from iconic British designer Simon Carter. With between 30% and 70% off these genuine designer goods, some of which are still full price in the shops, it's worth a look if fashion is your thing. I've just bought myself a fantastic Miss Sixty pendant for £25 instead of £75, which can't be bad...
The ‘vente-privée’ concept is already huge in France, where BrandAlley founder and net entrepreneur Sven Lung has taken BrandAlley.com to 1.3m members and 1.8m visitors per month. But the launch of BrandAlley.co.uk is designed to cater just for British trends,and tastes. All sales offer one designer brand of choice for up to 70% off normal retail prices. So far the site has featured Chloe, Elle McPherson, D&G, Paul Smith and Fendi sales amongst others.
Upcoming sales include Miss Sixty. All sales only last three to four days, so you have to be quick - but the beauty of the site is that you can stay ‘on trend’ without the need to spend a fortune!
