New Jazz Website

Today I launched my new Jazz website. You can find it at www.jazzmusicstore.info

This new site is content rich and a must read for all jazz enthusiasts. Some of the artists featured are Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton and Billie Holiday. Please stop by and have a look.

Von Dutch Caps

Today I found two great sites offering Von Dutch Caps, shirts and tops at really low prices. Fashion2go have lots of caps at just £14.97 including worldwide delivery, and Bangkoksuperstore have a larger range starting at just £8.99 with postage extra. Bangkoksuperstore also has a large selection of those stetchy ladies tops. I believe both companies are shipping from within the UK. As per my previous post, department store T J Hughes are also selling caps for around £12.00, but they only have a few stores in the UK.

Are these caps still popular? I've only ever seen a handful of people wearing them. A search on eBay revealed only 900 Von Dutch items for sale. A year or so ago, there was in excess of 6000 items. However, I believe this is probably due to Von Dutchs' severe VERO campaign, where they basically kick most auctions for their products off. More about his in my next post.

I was interested to find out where these "designer" caps were made. So I took myself off to my local T J Hughes store to do some research. The caps are all of a reasonable quality (although there is nothing particularly special about them). It turns out they are made in China, Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand. I found this quite interesting as I have seen people complaining on eBay that the caps they have bought are fake because they are made in the Far East. It would seem they are ALL made in the Far East - a fact I suspected anyway. It's my guess most designer stuff is made out there, but the designer companies keep quite about it.

Von Dutch Caps

Today I noticed that a local cut price department store is selling Von Dutch caps at just £10 each, or buy 2 get one free, working out at an incredible £6.66 each. These are the same caps that were selling for £50 up in designer shops, and for around £20 - £40 on eBay. Just goes to show the profit levels being made. More on this soon.

Why no Ebay in Thailand?

So why is there no Ebay in Thailand? It surely must be a prime candidate, after all we now have Ebay in China, Singapore and India. Thailand is one of the most dynamic economies in Asia, so it seems logical there should be a local Ebay. Perhaps it's because there is no local Auction site company Ebay can take over as they did, I beleive, in India.
