We're back after behind the scenes changes, which most of you wont have noticed, and now await the arrival of the Spring - Summer 2012 collections. The first part is now said to be with us next week, due to the slow release from Customs, and the rest will be making their way in mid February. As soon as they arrive, they will be weighed for postal purposes, and offered for sale here. Many of you have been in touch already, having seen the photo's, and some bags will have sold out before they even get here i'm afraid! If you are intereted in any bag you see a photo of, then please do get in touch.
We have already placed our order for items from the Spring/Summer 2012 Oilily bag collections, and can truly say that what is on offer is the best there has been for many seasons. We are already trying to place repeat orders, but fear the popular bags will have sold out, even at this stage.
For your information, the Collection names & themes for Spring/Summer 2012 are listed below:
| 1 - Apron 2 - Solid Color Blocking 3 - Princess 4 - Once Upon A Time 5 - Fairy Village 6 - Dunga 7 - Fairy Tapes 8 - Floral World 9 - Canal City |
Bag dimensions are now provided on items offered on the BUY HERE pages. It is our future aim to also provide a fuller description, and then to look at what can be done to enhance the pictures, so as to provide a better representation of what is on offer. Many of the pictures frequently fail to show the bags in their full glory.
If you would like to purchase an Oilily bag from this web-site, then please simply go to our BUY HERE page via the tab at the top of this page, and that will take you to the buying area. Don't forget that if you are looking for a Diaperbag, then a Carry All is generally suitable for the same purpose, other than it doesn't have a changing mat.
The range of bags on offer will also vary greatly from time to time, and will again depend on what is available to us to purchase from Colorful Licenses in Holland. If you see a bag for sale in our 'Buy Here' section, then this should be available, but as we are human, then a mistake is possible from time to time, although our record to date has been good.
We have been looking for other bag brands to offer you on this web-site, particularly comlimentary, colourful brands, but haven't found anything remotely worthwhile to date. If you feel that there is brand out there that we should offer, then please do let us know.
Here at Vanhuizen, being primarily suppliers of children's clothing, we are more heavily involved with the Kid's bags side of things, but this Kids label is rather misleading, as many of these 'Kids' bags are also suitable for older age groups, including women! The collections on offer here should not to be confused with the Oilily 'Beauty Bag' range, which are available in Europe, but for whatever reason, we are still not permitted to sell in the
The prices you see against the bags we offer, are at the start of the season, generally close to those prices suggested by the manufacturer, i.e. Colorful Licences, but as the season progresses, prices do tend to reduce. It's the old law of supply and demand in action! Obviously for EU countries VAT has to be included in the price, and postage costs are generally cheaper, whilst for non EU countries, the reverse is true. We have been experimenting with different companies for worldwide deliveries, as an alternative to the Post Office, and it is obvious that some of these need to be used in future.
If you have any comments or suggestions regarding this web-site, then we are happy to hear from you.
