Stock Update!

It's been a funny old year one way and another and some tricky decisions have had to be made along the way.
We have now sold out of our entire Mens' Range; we reduced them in price to get stock moving and suddenly, we have had a run on them and they have gone. For those of you with orders in the system, I am emailing you directly and arranging refunds with PROFUSE apologies for the disappointment and inconvenience. I cannot restock at this price and some of our Tunisian suppliers close down through our winter months.

The good news is that we are going back out in the early Spring when we shall be replenishing stocks of some popular lines and hopefully, finding some new ones to liven up the site. We are also going to be looking at introducing other Tunisian products alongside our kaftans which we are very excited about. The fact is that we have a lovely broad customer base who tell us that they love our products, love the quick and friendly service and the excellent value for money. You good people also like the fact that you are getting the genuine article!

So watch this space!!! When the new products are available for launch, our existing customers will be the first to hear about them and any new offers that we run alongside.

It might sound a long way off, but sadly time does fly and it will be here before you know it!

THANK YOU!

Hello to you all - it has been a long time since I updated the blog - way overdue by any standards! The purpose of this update is really just to thank customers of www.kaftanchic.com for their response to the site, the service and the kaftans. There are very few customers who do not respond one way or another when their orders have been dispatched. I have a wealth of lovely cards and letters from appreciative customers and some email correspondence - much of it from far corners of the globe - has gone back and forth via the ether with quite a rapport developing. I can't tell you how lovely that is and how gratifying it is to know that personal service and care with customers really does count in some quarters! I haven't posted specific responses on the website because I don't like to intrude into people's privacy but from the wealth of messages received, it appears that our customers are big fans of:-

• The personal touch
• Prompt service and response to queries
• The range
• The fact that the kaftans are the genuine article - many customers have lived in the Middle East and are pleased to have the opportunity to replace worn out kaftans much loved from times gone by
• The value for money
• The quality
• The trust factor

I sent out a newsletter to all kaftanchic customers around this time last year and a second one is going to come out any time now; if you regard this sort of thing as junk mail - I really am sorry - but given the relationship I have come to enjoy with my customers, I can assure you that it is not sent out in that spirit.

Thank you all so much for your positive feed back and encouragement!

Sale Time!

First of all - a Happy New Year to all! Our customers and those on our mail list will be receiving a New Year newsletter together with details of our January reductions. If you are new to our website - fear not! All the information you need is here.

There has been a lot of media hype recently about what does and does not constitute a sale and the current popular myth being peddled by those who really should know better, is that unless there is a minimum of a 50% discount, it does not constitute a sale. No wonder our High Streets are being decimated as store after store closes its doors. If goods are being discounted at such high levels it means one of two things; either the original mark up was totally obscene, or the goods are being given away just to get rid.

Our mark up on all our kaftans - (ladies' kaftans and mens' kaftans), tie-dye kaftans tie-dye dresses and ensembles is very modest and don't forget, we also include FREE postage and packing which includes overseas carriage. We also get fantastic feedback from our customers who are not only absolutely delighted with their purchases, they are also quick to remark on our fast and friendly service. From our point of view, that could not be better and thank you to all our customers who take the time and trouble to feed back to us.

Back to the sale! Many of our kaftans (mens' kaftans and ladies' kaftans) have been reduced from £25 to just £15 and yes, we do still include FREE P&P with those prices.

Our tie-dye kaftans have been reduced from £30 to £25 as have our tie-dye ensembles, from £35 to £25 and all our dresses have also been reduced.

If you look at our non tie-dye ensembles, you will see that whilst we have not included these in our sale, we do have an alternative available which, being new in, we do not have a picture of as yet, but which is very similar to the mauve, black and burgundy ensembles pictured, but, coming in Turquoise, Blue and Burgundy, have a VERY slightly less ornate trim and also have a subtle stripe in the trousers. These are priced at an amazing £20 and are well worth trying!

We hope you find a bargain to suit in amongst it all and as ever, are delighted to respond to queries either via info@kaftanchic.com or by telephone: 01805 804645. We are Devon based in the UK (although our kaftans and ensembles all come from Tunisia) so international dialling codes to suit your location!

Happy shopping!
