or 'wearever'?


az

Do any of those last ones work for the Spanish customers Az?

Not specifically, kelli, but it doesn't need to be a Spanish name as we will be selling in Europe on the internet - at least, we hope so.

We are still pondering 'eclipse' and 'azahar'. And may even still go with 'bohemia' though probably not, all things considered.

You haven't seen the clothes yet, so I'll send you an email for that, okay? I'd like your opinion.


az

I like everywear / anywear, because you can you use a nice slogan like this:

everywear - everywhere
anywear - anywhere

or

anywear - everywhere

¿YourRopa?

Thanks pheloxi!

Rudest elf, the thing is that maybe 'ropa' sounds too much like 'rope' in English.

Meanwhile, anagram expert that you are, surely you can come up with the perfect name for us???


az

Ok, now I've seen some of the clothing I don't think 'eclipse' really suits it. I like the anywear-everywhere thing but if you are thinking of selling to europeans outside of the UK then that may not work for them, not sure really. Think I still prefer azahar

Lovely shapes in the clothing az - I've left a few comments there for you

Thanks, kelli, some good comments.

The thing about the 'transparent' stuff is a lot to do with us only being able to purchase minimum orders of fabrics. Though I'd probably be doing that stuff anyhow. It's just so light and breezy, you know? And maybe not what you'd be comfortable wearing whilst out shopping, whatever, but nice at-home, comfy wear stuff, I hope.

Clearly none of it is 'fashion', but this is also not my market. I'm aiming at women who want to feel comfortable and at home in their clothes, and some might make it as far out as becoming 'streetwear' (certainly I wear a lot of it here in summer in that way) but again, it depends on the individual.

I hope I am offering a nice, comfy and also pretty collection of clothing in all-natural fabrics (this first collection is 100% linen) that people will be interested in buying.

You really prefer 'azahar' as a name? Orange blossom? Yeah, you may be right.


az

I'd be tempted to develop a little orange blossom logo to appear somewhere on all the clothing too - but that is because I like that kind of thing

Fashion, pah! I hope that the 'What Not To Wear'-viewing public (at least in the UK) are learning that well-fitting clothing that suits your shape is far more important than wearing the latest fashion.

Speaking of fashion (pah!) I tried to buy a warm chunky cardigan at the weekend - for taking to the office to pull on when it gets cold at my desk (to save me having to have constant cups of tea to warm my hands on). It seems that this year's fashion means that they are all little shrug things that finish just under the bust. What a *total* waste of wool! I gave up in the end and bought a man's jumper from M&S...

I agree that stuff that is intended to be worn as PJs can be a bit transparent - although one must remember this before answering the door to the postman but if I change into an item of clothing after I get up (like the dress), I don't want to have to change again in order to go out - could just be me being lazy though!

I like "anywear" and "everywear". "Wearever" sounds like the name of an old brand of clothing we had here in the States when I was a little kid. It was supposed to be long-lasting. It wasn't very comfortable. But if you're not looking for a wide market amongst cranky middle-aged USAians, "wearever" should be fine as well.

I think of the three, "everywear" is my favorite.

Do I get to see clothing sample photos sometime, too? I'm anxious to see the finished product!

Dang! I didn't send you the password, PC? Doing it right now . . .


az

Do you not think those sort of deliberate misspellings might lose some of their charm with repetition?

I'll be honest, they're making me grate my teeth already. But then I'm not your target market.

azahar gets my vote - esp with a blossom logo

az - can I see the clothes please?

I'd love to have a play with some logo designs if and when you decide on a name.

i didn't get to look at them either az

Lady, I'm not sure the email address I have for you is correct - can you send one to me to confirm it?

Sal, you have mail.


az

Thanks Lady. That was the address I had for you but somehow thought it was a netherlands one. Anyhow, email sent.


az

I haven't received your email yet az.

I hope my mail server hasn't eaten it! ntl has this spam filter thingy on it...I have disabled it now so could you try again please.

hi Lady,

Both emails I sent you were rejected and sent back to me . . .


az

Hi Az,

I have been trying to look at your stuff and comment from my work computer today, but one of our attorneys (a nosy lunatic) has been hovering around me all day and I can't open a big enough browser window to look properly.

I did especially like the one where your friend was modeling for you. That looked extremely confortable!
