^I paint.

That's not what you really want, you need to take pics of the kind of items you want in your shop, then before you go down that line check if it will work.
I have a gut instinct that kind of arty shop would work in the UK, US, those types of places,would do very well in tourist areas of black countries, but alot of young blacks are into ultra modern.

Ultra modern may be the way to go for you, your goods will be bang on trend so you may have to have a shopfit to reflect your stock and clientele.

^Yes to all the above but I would still LOVE YOUR IDEA, never seen anything like that.

Try to show some of your thoughts. kiss

MadLady: U have a shunt? You are strong o!
By the way I never got to see you in that dress that you were gonna get.

Leave me , you should see the dress @ayettymamma picked for me then she asked if I were going to a wedding , she's very tuff with me, but I love her, she's very smart.

Your up very Early or are you in the US.

OP
Try ebay for some inexpensive things you can modernize it with.

^Honey I am sorry I left without telling you embarassed

, I am not feeling well, my shunt needs replacing,feeling a bit weak cry

.
My Cousin and I have spent the Morning laughing fit to drop at what @ifedy been saying down on the culture section, it's made my chest hurt even more sad

.

You said the MAGIC WORDS, CONTEMPORARY/AFRICAN, if you did that in the UK you would be laughing all the way to the bank, but it would cost you a bomb, the designer may stiff you and it's such a HOT idea all your props would have to be made by hand, that kind of workforce can charge what they like.

If you are sure that the NIGERIAN market would like that then you've got it made, I think your fitters,craft- people would be way less expensive.
Check that your market is ready for that!!

Take photos of the things you like, then style your shop to fit them.

If this is the look you are going for then your RAILS come last, you would design your rails to fit the shop, not even sure you should use metal rails for such a look. I would go with bamboo poles

ps I have a very cool contemp shop fit you can see, I will post if you wish. kiss

AFRICAN CRAFT WORK KOOL KOOL , but us blk ppls can turn our noses up at it, whites love handcrafted goods, I love them.
My young brother (26) hates anything like that, he likes ultra up to the second things.
The market your aiming for will govern the look you go for.

Rail fittings I know nothing about, only dealt with the look, you know they use to have books (look books) that we were told to follow, I always ignored them tongue

.

You must be careful, the look now it's so celebrity focused, you really have to follow whats in for young people like yourself, that's why I would find it hard to get back into the industry .

Honey do not let the cost govern your choice, not many are into the arty look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paypal will be fine.
The blue make up set are seperate, it shows the different sizes. Which size did you like?
The brown python print is $387.

As for Logo bags, We don't have the big F anymore. Just the love difference

Love the difference, that's new to me, I think it's cute.

The large make-up bags and the python print looks like that's it.

Will you be showing any other brands ?

I will remove my Furla now.

Thank you

^ Ok, look the 2nd that's the only one that could give you problems, all the rest, DEAD SIMPLE!!!!!

The arty look, local artists show the BEST of their works on your wall, not too much, you need the space for your bags and shoes.
3 beautiful sofas (no chairs) a few stools you need fab dummies and a few rails. BE WARNED this look may be too old or undecided

I love it for the individual appearance but lots hate it undecided

The clean look is very easy and can be cheap, best rails you can get, well painted walls , lovely glass boxes, leather white puffs or sofas,
keep everything monochrome, the items you are selling should then pop. HUGE PLANTS, I, 3, OR 5. keep everything in that style.

Go to SELFRIDGES, check out the different design houses, see the look you like, maybe HARRODS might be better. kiss

The table comes with a second shelf almost floor level, that's very common in that style of table.
Just checked the table again it's a trestle leg, like a long post, get the one with extra shelf if you go for that kind of look, holds more.

Uploaded are the stripe style and colour available. The shoppers I have also uploaded here, i like the feel of the black one.
I ve also uploaded some of the makeup bags u can put your personal stuff in.
The one you LOVE, comes in a python embossed leather and soft grain perforated leather. I uploaded the varieties and yes this bag rocks!
USPS have the 3-5 business days delivery. Just like you babe, i have never used paypal lol

I never use WESTERN UNION, I USE PAYPAL or credit cards when I am familiar with the buyer/seller.

I like the blue set.

What about the FURLA LOGO BAG?

I like the brown python print, how much?

Will you take PAYPAL?

Shinor:
It depends.
Wish I could upload a few pictures of my friend's shop.
But unfortunately I haven't got the pictures.
Whereabouts in London are you?
You can get door to door quotes for as little as £3.00 per kilo. At least up to Lagos.
You would only need the frames. The shelves you can always organise locally ( if you are a good artist or can take pictures).
There's a magazine called Retail Weekly. Usually has details of people selling off shop fittings etc cos the shops are closing down.
Get a design of the display window. And get that made for you in Nigeria.
You can look at shops at the Tinapa Resort. a lot of the displays were made locally.

Wonderful.

Photos of your dream shops would be great, take close-ups of the fittings not just the look, helps the shop fitter work out how best to make them

Darling I thought you would go the more arty/gallery or even the ultra-chic boutique hotel look undecided

I love shops like that, they can be a bit intimidating some times, all that, "can I get you a glass of champagne undecided

@jellybean.

I like the the striped bags, are they both the same? they look great in both combos.

The TOTES are not what I am looking for, maybe what I call TOTES, you call by one of these name, nappy bags or shoppers?

The make-up bags are used by most of us for purses /credit/travel/card and bits so not sure about the one you've shown undecided

I LOVE LOVE the 2nd to last, is it a python print or could it be real tongue

need to see a better pic, how much.

I would be happy with USPS, I think undecided

I may have received parcels from them before, took less than 6 days if I remember correctly undecided

I never use Western Union, can you use PAYPAL?

I will post the pic of my old "TOTE",shopper. I will remove it asap, so it does not spoil the flow of your pics, if you can get them in a different colour way,this colour can only be used on a hot bright day.

Fashion › Re: Your Thoughts And Suggestions Please. by madlady(f): 11:25am On Feb 28, 2010

@Poster, your in the US, the postage charges have increased dramatically since last year, I normally get mine sent by UPS, they then hand them over to PACELFORCE, do/will you do the same?

Do you use PAYPAL?

Some old season are still available, the blue bag is not available anymore in the croc leather, I only have the nappa leather in that.
The shiny white called carmen is not available in that colour, i have attached the patent black leather one available and the nappa leather. I also attached other tote pictures as well.
I currently have that exact makeup kit, it's a 3 set piece and it comes in different colours. I also have the single make up kit as well.

How do you mean things are different with furla?

I have the set in pale green , sadly the smallest went walk abouts, very tiny it's easy to misplace. So if you can quote me for the single that's great

.

Now the striped, what other colour does it come in,can you show the inside, PLS quote. Could you show me your old season totes, need those most.
Do you have the old one with the big F on it. I have it, I also have a pic embarassed

(very messy full of my other bags) if you cannot remember the one I refer to.

What about the across body bag that I have shown, can you source, I would love that for myself embarassed

in black.

it is a matter of personal preference. there is no right or wrong in it. if you feel more comfortable with YOURself with your hairs cut, wax, shaved or trimmed down there, then so be it. though for many, they just feel more comfortable not touching the sacredness of those hairs there.[/quote]What a wonderful way to explain it "sacredness"

14 teaspoons=7 tablespoons but still thats a lot. And when they are not killing us with the white toxin, they are using HIGH FRUCTOSE SUGAR or HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP (HFCS) because its cheaper. The brain doesnt recognise this compound, thats why when you start on a packet of Digestives or Pringles, you have to finish it.

Yes your right, lots of the foodstuff we consume really only makes us sick.

@Off Topic when are you going to start a muscle toning thread, would love some REAL info, like whats the best inner thigh exercise?

LOL I will definately give a good discount on the FURLA handbags,don't worry about that.

Try posting some of the pics of the bags you want, is it from the 2010 collection or old season?
Ferragamo is really great as well, the store has the feel good smell of leather!

Well actually I need old seasons, but not really fussy just must be large TOTES, smart shopping bags.
I can sell to work colleagues, we all stop at the supermarket on the way home.

I would also like make-up bags, large size.

Would you also be able to get the the last bag I have shown, it's from the 2010 collection.

Oh, just looked around,it seems things are different with regards to FURLA.

Yes there's FURLA bags and accesories as well as other leather goods and shoes like Charles David,Ferragamo,steve madden,tumi,jimmy choo,hugo boss,louis vuitton and others.

(btw, I do work part time with Furla)

I am very keen to purchase Furla items, they are not faked so I feel happy to buy them.

I want to re-sell so the price really is important.

My camera seems to be faulty other wise I would post pictures of what I need, I may still have a few photos of some in my computer, I will check and come back later.

Ferragamo I love and could easily re-sell put not sure of that line so I would need to check and get back to you.

I was thinking Naija as I know Uk peeps do have the designer stores and outlets, dunno if it's the same price as it is here or more expensive.

I am also buying direct from each of the company, they have their stores and boutique here in Westfield. Make up stores like Mac,Napoleon and more are here, Clothing stores like Hugo Boss,BCBG,Max Studio,Burberry and Louis Vuiton which opened last year.
Nordstrom,Macy,Nieman Marcus and even leather places like Micheal Kors,FURLA,Charles David and more!!

I can't stand fake, it's annoying and I honestly don't see the point cos the original is always so much better and last a life time.

I haven't started selling but I want to look into it and start, I just needed ideas and opinions on how to go about it .

@Poster do you have any FURLA BAGS or LEATHER GOODS, I would be keen to buy if you have.
