Some customers often ask if we "go and bring" our beautiful collections from Europe. To that I answer that our clothes and merchandise are hand selected, ordered 6 months in advance of the season and are made to order in Europe. We select our merchandise by attending European Tradeshows, working directly with the designers and representatives to hand pick the styles, sizes and fabrics.

I always tell my customers to be aware of "New Arrivals" for stores that already in the middle or at the end of a season. That means that their New Arrivals are the seasons Clearance at other stores.

For Example: Our Spring/Summer Collections arrive from Europe starting in January, and shipments continue until April. Those merchandise have been selected and orderd in September of the previous year. Our Fall/Winter Collections arrive strating August and continue until late October. Those items have been selected and ordered in January or February of the same year.

Some Stores continue to get their inventory by getting it from clearnace sections of other stores. There is nothing wrong with it, except for when the same out of season merchandise is presented as new arrivals and sold at their original or even sometimes higher than their original prices, when in fact they should be at Clearance prices.
