Plus Size Blogshop

It is sad that I still do not hear back from bangkok manufacturer. I chanced upon Plus Size Model Magazine while doing research and love the site so much, they have so many inspiring design and their plus size model looks great in the design.

I always thought plus size women have to be conservative and wear only dark color swim wear.  After visiting Plus Size Model Magazine I know I am so wrong and how I wish we could buy such fashionable swimwear in Singapore.

Blogshop

Blogshop has been in Singapore for several years now and is still gaining popularity.  I am trying to set up a blogshop and had done a fair bit of reading from internet.


There are off course some very successful blogshop but more join the failure side.  Also blogshops that are successful tends to have their own website and not relying on blogspot or wordpress.  They have their own models and engage professional photographer for product shoot.


I am starting to have second thought as the above will add on the cost of goods and drive selling price up.

Bangkok Trip

Came back from a 3 day 2 night bangkok shopping trip.  It was a very fruitful trip and my 2 girls enjoyed it very much. 



I have always wanted to own a blogshop and have explored few times but have never really got to complete it.  The last was tried sourcing from China manufacturer but quality was really bad and even though there is no language barrier the end product did not turn out to what I have communicated.  The project became a still  birth.



Prior to China I tried Korea and have written email to supplier in Korea Gmarket but have never receive reply from them.  This is truely a language barrier and again was a failure.



This Bangkok trip has again inspire me to try again.  I've since wrote in to few manufacturers and I hope they give me a favourable reply.  Below is what I've asked them to quote.



Let's hope it will be successful this time.
