ASOS - to sell or not to sell?
February 15, 2012It
seems to me, that ASOS are becoming a little confused.
I was
so excited when the Marketplace opened, giving us lots of
independent, high quality 'Boutiques' to shop from alongside their
standard fashion picks, many specialising in vintage fashion.
Afterall, this was ASOS, so surely these would be the best
independent fashion stores across the World? And they were. Indeed,
they still are.
HOWEVER, the 'Boutique' dept. doesn't
have its own separate search facility for individual items. So I am
forced to 'search the marketplace' and have to pick through pictures
of headless teenagers' bedrooms in yesterday's grubby prom dress. Not
my idea of 'boutique' shopping.
To justify this, ASOS's
disclaimer reads: "All
the photos you see on Marketplace are ‘real’, shot on a person
and taken in natural daylight. The best shots get a spot on ‘The
People’s Runway’–
our ‘best of Marketplace’ blog.
So
if you’re shopping, selling, or just seeking some style
inspiration:
Welcome to the Global
Fashion Democracy."
Global Fashion DEMOCRACY. Anyone, anywhere, can sell their tat. For Free. Not much fair to those boutiques paying £50 a month for the privilege then.
Anyway, I thought tat was meant for ebay? Just
a thought...
