All About Eve: Spring 2007

This posting showcase the Spring 2007 wraps that have gone on sale.

Again, keep in mind that DvF is VERY strict about discounts so don't expect to see current season items at greatly reduced prices until at least 6 months after the items arrive in shops, and that only applies to whatever is still around, which is not much, more often than not! If you plan on purchasing 5 or more DvFs, I can help negotiate a 10% discount for you -- which is enough to cover your NYC sales tax costs -- but the items need to be in stock at the DvF shop, so move quickly!

DvFs are popular and sell out unbelievably fast, so in addition to tracking down specific items for my clients, I will also pick up a wrap here and there, as I go along, if I think the item will sell out -- so check my other blog entries below to see what I have in stock of items that are sold out in shops and what great finds I have been able to get at discount prices. However, anything available in the shops can be ordered for you, provided that your size is still available or can be found through one of my many vendor relations. Happy shopping!

Shipping cost is additional and I prefer USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation for US addresses and Global Express for International addresses.Cash, PayPal, Western Union, USD money orders and USD bank drafts accepted.
