Hello from deepest Wiltshire here in the UK, and thank you for your visit to this web site. Nice to have you here. We can see from our invisible site 'counter' that a few hundred of you a day have a look at this site, so it's obvious that the subject of Oilily bags commands a good audience. In addition, it seems that most of the people buying from us come from outside the UK (Anywhere from Israel to Austrailia) and so the pricing of bags isn't as straightforward as it would be if we were purely serving the home market.
The prices you see against the bags we offer, are generally those suggested by the manufacturer, i.e. Colorful Licences, and as such we try to adhere to these figures, but when we get a spare hour or two, we'll run through what is on offer, and see if these can be improved upon. 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.
The good news is that we have had our delivery the Spring/Summer 2010 bags, along with the shops we supply in the UK, and so as far as sales go, it's all systems go. In the BUY HERE section you will see an impressive number of bags on offer. There can't be many shops or on line shops who can offer this range. It is our intention within the next few weeks, with the help of our IT man, to make the ordering and payment of bags from this site, a whole deal easier than at present, so watch this space!
In addition to the Spring/Summer 2010 deliveries, as is the method in the fashion trade, we also received the Autumn/Winter 2010 Kids & Ladies samples (Over a 100 of them) which we are now advance selling to the shops. This greater number reflects the return of the Oilily Kid's clothing brand to the market for Autumn/Winter 2010 season, with the bags intending to complement certain sections of the collection.
Please note that we are only able to supply you with bags made under licence by Colorful Licences, and not able to supply you with any bags previously offered by Oilily BV, prior their bankruptcy in Spring/Summer 2009.
As with other seasons, the Spring/Summer 2010 ‘Oilily Safari City’ collection is broken down into a number of sections, and sub sections, and this can be somewhat confusing at times.
The Kids bags range is broken down into the following sections: 1) Hairdo Land 2) Barber House 3) Camouflage 4) Animals & 5) Jingle Jungle, whilst the the Women's Bag collection consists of 6) African Garden 7) Flower Applique 8) Sahara City 9) Linen Ovation 10) African Stiches 11) Patchwork & 12) The Floral.
Here at Van Huizen Enterprises, being primarily suppliers of children's clothing, we are have been more involved with the 'Toddler' (Kids) section, the name of which is rather misleading anyway, as many of the bags are suitable for older age groups, including women! It was only in the latter part of 2009 that Colorful Licenses agreed to us selling their Women's bag range, and this is what we are offering you here. This is not to be confused with the 'Beauty Bag' range, which we are still not permitted to sell in the UK, and therefore unable to offer to you here.
Our normal business is to supply Colorful Licenses Oilily bags to Shops, Boutiques, Web-sites & Department Stores within the UK, with most orders being dispatched from Colorful Licenses warehouse in Holland, directly to the retailers. However, we do keep some stock ourselves here in the UK, and that is what we are offering for sale here to both shops and the general public.
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. If you see a bag for sale on our Buy Here section, then this should be available, and if you would like to purchase it, then please simply contact us, by 'phone, e-mail, or by filling in our On Line Form.
We look forward to hearing from you in due course, and thank you for interest in the site.
