Dear All,

We trust
you all had a fantastic Christmas break and New Year? At FashionCapital HQ we
are back and eager to face the year ahead.

FC Boutique

As
mentioned previously FashionCapital boutique is currently undergoing a revamp
with its own dedicated web address, improved functionality and polished new
look. Our webmaster Yoel has done a great job and the boutique will be going
live in the very near future. FashionCapital Boutique provides designers with
their own boutique webpage which they can update as and when required. This
e-trading site has been developed to offer designers a cost effective
alternative to trading on the web that will benefit from the extensive traffic
received on FashionCapital. For those
interested the cost is £250 plus VAT but for a limited period only we are
offering boutique space with a 50% discount. To make the most of this
opportunity and apply for a boutique you need to contact Vanessa at
vanessa@fashioncapital.co.uk before the end of this month.

We would
also like to mention a quick congratulations to Yoel on his recent marriage, all the
best to him and his Mrs.

Europe. The end result is leather which is breathable and biodegradable.

The
Embellished Truth style is confident and feminine, handbags are bold yet
practical. Inspired by Indian culture, prints and embellishments, each piece is
individually created with care in London and embossed by hand with an original
paisley design.

Embellish
Truth handbags are available from Enter Boutique in Centrale Shopping Centre in
Croydon.
