Here's our pick!
RAQUL REED (RR) with the slogan - beyond simple, beyond imagination
And now, questions for the owner of RR!
PSS : When did Raqul Reed start and how did you guys start out?
RR : Raqul Reed official launch was at Febuary 19 2011. It was just a normal conversation between two teenage girls and here we are - having them online. Raqul Reed's main selling point are clothes but slowly, we went into the accessories area and it have been doing better than before. Now, we have move into iphone covers. But the main point of this blogshop are still clothes.
PSS : Who runs Raqul Reed? (You don't have to tell us your names, a short description such as two or three friends coming together one rainy night dressed in woolly socks with a brilliant idea is fine. We just want to have a little close-up feel to this!)
RR : Raqul Reed does not have a specific owner because to us - whoever is involved IS Raqul Reed's OWNER. No matter they have injected money or not , the effort they have put in already made them Raqul Reed's owner.
Our models - XiuMing & Bernice did fork out a lot of time to do the photoshoot and it's really inconveninet as the three of us are from different colleges. Somehow, Raqul Reed keeps us all together and we're happy for that. No matter what happen in the future or so - I hope that it would stay the same.
However, it is currently only run by one person - the link of her blog is on Raqul Reed's main page. So don't hesitate to contact her to ask about enquiries and stuff. She won't bite. : )
*here it is readers!* This is the personal blog of the owner of RR!
*these 3 girls are the team of RR*
PSS : Is there a meaning behind the name "Raqul Reed"? And how do you really pronounce it? Is it "Rack-Ool Read" or "Rack-Cool Read" ?
RR : We pronounced Raqul Reed as "RA-Q -READ" . There's no special meaning behind it - we just want to have a different name instead of having those typical ones having the word ' closet' ,'boutique' , 'wardrobe.'
PSS : Why did you choose to sell what you are selling now? Is there a certain concept to Raqul Reed?
RR : We normally sell clothes which is actually acceptable in Malaysia as some pretty clothings are hardly acceptable here. The clothes on the web are actually a contrast with the owner as the owner pretty much clothes that stands out in a crowd where people claimed to be exaggerating. So, clothes on Raqul Reed is just like another her wanting to have those clothes in her wardrobe but not suitable. It's another way to fulfill her dream but of course, she still does wear some of them for promotional purposes.
Raqul Reed doesn't really have a fix concept. All designs are actually custom pick based on the trend. Somehow we illustratred a concept which is vintage and sweet. But we don't bound by that area since we don't only have customers who love the theme. We chose our items based on the overall market .
PSS : How often can your customers expect updates? Will they all be locked down to a certain price range?
RR : My customers DO expect update at least once a week but we somehow couldn't manage to do it all the time as our goods are often imported and our time are always not fix - with the models and the arrival date of the goods. But somehow now, we do manage it quite well.
We try to make our price range to be affordable. Thus, I rarely have customer complained about our price range. To us , quality is always the main reason of every clothing. We can assure that what they pay for , will be total worth the price or more. Of course there will be some clothings which are out of our price range - that would be our exclusive design, then .
