http://www.kaftanchic.com/ has been let loose upon the unsuspecting world for just over three months now and in that period of time we have encountered some lovely people all over the world who share our love of kaftans and tie-dye. Having enjoyed some very pleasant interaction with our customers we thought it would be a nice idea to launch a blog to keep in touch, flag up any news or special offers.
We launched the website with a fashion show held locally in Devon where we are based and the ladies modelling the kaftans, sundresses and trouser suits on the website itself, gamely modelled for the local crowd. It was quite authentic with upbeat african music to help us try and capture the mood of sunny Tunisia where our authentic kaftans come from. Several of our customers have passed comment on how much fun the website looks and I can say that we did have enormous fun putting it together; we were very lucky to have some game gals to call on with a couple of husbands being roped in for good measure!
We are gradually building our Client base and the best way to grow is by word of mouth so if you are a happy customer, please recommend us to your friends and family. In addition to advertising and promoting ourselves locally, we have advertised in 'The Oldie' magasine which has extended our Client base across the UK and overseas.
It is a pity that summer in the UK has been so dismal this year but there is still the chance of an Indian Summer in September and October (says she optimistically!) and of course, lots of people head abroad for winter sunshine so there is still scope to purchase a kaftan, tie-dye sundress or trouser suit as a Christmas present or for yourself if you are heading for the hotspots or off on a winter cruise. (Lucky you!)
We also feel that kaftans make a great alternative to a dressing gown either when you just want to chill out at home or for people in hospital or nursing homes so it definitely isn't seen as just a summer purchase.
We do hope that if you have come across us before, you will continue to catch up; I am thinking we might add some quirky bits to the blog in future and maybe some cartoons as well so - to coin the phrase - 'watch this space!'
About Me
- kaftanchic
- www.kaftanchic.com came about following my redundancy from a management job in industry which I had enjoyed for some twelve years. Contrary to the propoganda peddled by statisticians on a mission, I can tell you that however well qualified and personable you are, captains of industry are not beating a path to your door to lap up your years of experience once you hit 50. Far from it. So I started a business consultancy to satisfy my craving for commercial challenges and having been a great fan of kaftans for many years and seeing them enjoying a well deserved revival by the fashionistas, set up www.kaftanchic.com returning to my retail roots in a bid to make some money! It is not a hobby by any means and it has also been quite a challenge to pull the thing together and the learning curve that goes with e-commerce has been pretty steep. I want people to enjoy a pleasant shopping experience when they visit the site and contact us as well as have access to a good quality product at a very reasonable price! Keep shopping! Rosy

Dear :
It is our great pleasure to introduce ourselves in the most colorful world of batik designing. We are a batik, Hand bag, sandals and Garment manufacturer specialize in sarong for beachwear and mini skirt in hand painting, hand print, hand stamp and tie dye. We have been in this field since 1994 and since then we are trying to add new concepts of designs in batik industries in local as well as export market in order to fulfill customers' satisfaction. Mostly, our products are made of two kinds quality of 100% rayon fabrics, those are 80/ 60 rayon construction ( thicker than the second one) and 72/ 42 rayon construction. The reason of using rayon fabric is considered by the quality that is match for beachwear. They are light silky and can be sticky wrap to human body, providing the sensual look and feel. However, we can provide other material such as cotton and silk to meet your satisfaction.
