Shoe boutiques in New York

If you are shopping for new shoes, New York is the perfect destination.  Partially because real state is so expensive in NYC, there are fewer large department stores and more specialized boutiques.  Sure the city has Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Barney’s, Lord & Taylor, etc., but many other big stores do not venture into the city.

The city has many distinct sections that have trendy consumers as well as trendy boutique owners.  Sometimes finding a fascinating shoe boutique in New York is as simple as stepping into Soho, Greenwhich Village, Nolita, etc.

Giving is Beautiful Soma Bra Donation

Earlier this week Soma announced its next Giving is Beautiful™ Soma Bra Donation.  The nationwide charitable initiative to collect bras for women who have been affected by domestic violence is said to be the largest of its kind.  With more than 885,000 bras collected to date, the scale and scope of the project is a testament to the brand and the Soma customer’s dedication to making a difference in women's lives.  Now through February 4th, the company will accept both new and gently worn bras at all Soma boutiques across the country as well as monetary donations at the register and at www.soma.com.

“Our passion and commitment to this initiative has never been stronger,” states Laurie Van Brunt, Soma president. “What started as a grass roots effort in a few local boutiques has grown to become a brand-wide and nationwide initiative spanning more than 281 Soma boutiques and outlets. Our boutiques and customers enthusiastically contribute their time, money and bras to help women in need restore their lives. It’s our ultimate goal that no woman has to choose between buying a bra and putting food on the table.”

To help raise awareness about domestic violence, Soma will once again partner with the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV). The NNEDV is the leading voice for survivors of domestic violence. Representing over 2,000 shelter programs across 56 state and territory coalitions throughout the United States, the NNEDV continues to be a vital partner to help spread the word and make a difference in women's lives.

The Giving is Beautiful Soma Bra Donation initiative is national in scope but local in nature — directly impacting communities where the bras are donated. Each of Soma’s 281 boutiques and outlets will work with its community’s women's shelter to help local women in need. First launched in July 2010, this marks the tenth biannual Soma Bra Donation initiative. To date, Soma has collected more than 885,000 bras to help provide for the more than 1.3 million victims who stay in domestic violence shelters each year.

"Soma is partnering their boutiques with local domestic violence shelters to make a real difference in the lives of domestic violence victims, who often arrive at a shelter with nothing, says Kim Gandy, President and CEO of the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV).  “New and nearly new bras are less frequently donated than other clothing items, so shelters are especially grateful to receive new bras for the women who seek safety there.  Through this essential campaign, Soma is helping to raise awareness in local communities, raise critically needed funds, and help victims rebuild their lives."

 “Thanks to our partnership with the National Network to End Domestic Violence, new and gently worn bras are distributed to domestic violence shelters in our customers’ local communities. Our goal is to reach a million bras collected, because that translates to a million women feeling confident and beautiful, from the inside out,” says Van Brunt. “And every woman deserves to feel that way.”

To help reach the brand’s goal of one million bras collected, Soma will continue to utilize a unique, shareable hashtag, #OneMillionBras in their marketing and social platforms during the donation time period, and are asking customers across the country to help spread the word about this worthy cause by tagging @SomaIntimates. The brand will also have a donation landing page, www.soma.com/givebras allowing visitors to read a number of touching stories about how our 885,000 donated bras have changed women’s lives across the country, plus offer information about the NNEDV, how to donate bras, and where to find Soma boutiques nationwide. 

About Soma:

Soma, a division of Chico’s FAS, Inc. (NYSE: CHS), offers beautiful and sensual lingerie, loungewear and beauty products. Home of the warmest personal service, Soma embraces women with luxuriously soft fabrics, innovative fashion and an always perfect fit in bra sizes 32A-44G. As of January 8^th, Soma will operate 281 boutiques and outlets across the country as well as a website at www.soma.com.

About NNEDV:

NNEDV, a nonprofit charitable organization, is the leading voice for domestic violence victims and their advocates.  NNEDV members include all 56 of the state and territorial coalitions against domestic violence, which have over 2,000 local programs. NNEDV has been a premiere national organization advancing the movement against domestic violence for over 20 years, having led efforts to pass the landmark Violence Against Women Act of 1994 and to reauthorize and strengthen countless laws and regulations to increase safety and end violence.  To learn more about NNEDV, please visit www.nnedv.org.

How to Find Clothing Wholesalers

If you are looking to find clothing wholesalers, you really need to first consider the fact that there are two distinctly different elements to this term.

1. Wholesalers selling to retailers.
2. Wholesalers selling to consumers.

The proper meaning of the word, “wholesaler” is basically a company that sells merchandise to retail stores.  In other words, a wholesaler is an intermediary in the distribution channel that buys direct from a factory or in bulk from another resource and sells to resellers such as a clothing store rather than directly to consumers.  For example, an apparel wholesaler will purchase shirts, pants, sweaters, outerwear, or shoes from a factory and then sell those items to fashion boutiques or department stores.  In turn the retailers will then sell the product to consumers.

Over the years, the term has become rather relaxed and morphed into multiple meanings.  Essentially, some companies indicate that they are fashion wholesalers but rather than sell to shops, they sell clothes directly to the general public.  They consider themselves to be wholesalers because they sell the product at discounted prices (prices below typical retail pricing).

So, the next question is are you looking for discount fashion suppliers that sell to consumers are do you work in the fashion industry and are looking for a wholesaler or distributor to purchase product for your stores?

If you are a retailer, you can visit the clothing wholesalers section to find companies selling womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear.

You can also try FashionGo which is another place for wholesalers and retailer to meet.  FashionGo.net® provides retailers access to a vast array of wholesale fashion merchandise at their fingertips 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with just the click of a mouse. With a membership that is free to buyers, FashionGo.net® retailers around the world can efficiently shop, compare, and purchase from a host of vendors at the best prices. FashionGo.net® provides manufacturers and wholesalers a simple, cost effective way to increase sales and expand their businesses on a global e-commerce platform.

Guide to Maternity Fashion Shopping

Embrace Comfort and Style: A Guide to Maternity Fashion

Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative journey, and embracing the changes in your body is a crucial aspect of this experience. One of the essential elements of a comfortable and enjoyable pregnancy is wearing proper fitting and comfortable clothing. Maternity fashion not only caters to your growing body but also allows you to express your unique style during this incredible period of life.

The Importance of Comfort and Fit

During pregnancy, your body undergoes significant changes to accommodate the growth of your baby. As your belly expands and your body shifts, it's vital to wear clothing that provides ample space, support, and comfort. Properly fitting maternity clothes help reduce discomfort, provide necessary support, and promote overall well-being during this crucial period.

Comfort is not the only factor; style matters too. Feeling good about your appearance can boost your confidence and improve your overall mood. Maternity fashion has evolved over the years, offering a wide range of stylish options that allow you to stay on trend while prioritizing comfort.

Best Way to Find Clothing Stores

Shopping for clothing is fun, and it is also rather easy.  Thank you internet.

So, what do you think is the best way to find clothing stores.  If you don’t already have a particular retailer in mind, how do you typically begin your search.  Are you like most people and use the big search engines like Google & Bing?  Or do you have a special tip to share with us?

Here are a few of my favorite places to look for new boutiques (yes, I am bias and prefer these because they are on Apparel Search).

Clothing Stores – this is our primary fashion retail store section.  The directory consists of department stores, outlet centers, online retailers, and speciality boutiques.  If you know any amazing companies that should be added to the directory, suggest to them to contact us.  We are happy to add new resources.

Consumer Fashion – this is a rather new section on Apparel Search.  This entire section has specifically been designed for people interested in shopping for clothes, shoes, handbags, or accessories.  The area is not yet perfect, but it is off to a good start.  If you can think of ways that we can improve this particular area of the site, please do not hesitate to let us know.  While you are reviewing this area of the site, you may want to check the top shopping destination page to find clothing stores that may be of interest to you.

Because we are fans of the East Coast of the United States, we also must recommend that you investigate shopping for fashion in New York.  If you live in a different part of the country or the world, please let us know your favorite shopping destinations for purchasing clothing.

Who's Next and Premiere Classe

The leading international professional fashion and accessories trade shows at the Porte de Versailles have closed the doors to their first event in 2017 on a positive note. The two trade shows have been a platform for a new-found energy, indicating an improved market dynamic.

A reassuring edition marked with the return of numerous leading buyers and boutique owners, efficient services for visitors, acclaimed conference programme and events; a positive general energy which reconnects the trade shows to their initial role: to stimulate the desire to buy, discover new brands, trigger sales and the flow of orders, and bring back together the fashion community.

Many different exhibitors from a range of sectors have noticed the arrival of new accounts as well as the upholding of their "regular" visitors. Nevertheless, the distributors have reduced the number of coworkers present, which explains a final visitor count of 45 192.

For the French market, one can note the return of multi-brand boutiques and selective concept stores such as Deschilder (Lille) for leather goods or Michard Ardillier (Bordeaux) for shoes.
