Well, we saw this one coming....Ebay launched it's first holiday store in New York (where else) in November and to everyones wonderment it was stocked with L.A.M.B. shoes, Norma Kamali exclusives for Ebay, Michael Kors accessories and even M.A.C. makeup. Yep, I know what your thinking, if you wanted these things, you'd go to your neighborhood mall (at least that's what we're thinking). But, we digress.
Enter Ebay Fashion Vault. Keeping up with the Joneses is hard to do these days, but ebay is managing it well with their new site dedicated to a sort of 'sample sale' type atmosphere - think Gilt.com and Ruelala.com. Ahhh, now we can breathe because here you can find designer duds that you really want such as Tom Ford sunglasses and OMG - Catherine Malandrino pieces. Even though they started with a Cole Haan sale (yawn), we're sure they will pick up, where these other sample sales dropped off. C'mon Ebay, stop running with the 'flea market' theme and get with it - we know you can do it! Hey if Narciso Rodriguez has an 'exclusive' line for ebay, they have it going on...baby steps indeed.
We'll have to wait and see what fashion hit makers have to say about this one....(fingers tapping on computer)
