Hello everyone!

I’m sorry to suddenly cut off the connection of pretty pictures with this post, I’ll promise to make it as short and sweet as possible.

Within just a few short months Vanity Vault has grown and is getting adjusted to having it’s very own website! I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has helped and support the growth of Vanity Vault and some special thank yous to Minishorts (cause good friends eventually share the same hosting) and Edrei for helping me get started.

To mark this event, I’ve decided to re-release one or two of the popular designs by the end of Jan 2007 so keep your eyes peel for that!

As Vanity Vault continues to grow, I will have stage by stage plannings to add more features to the site, including a shopping cart, perhaps a pay pal account, etc etc.

From now onwards, each set is categorised without a expendable content box and will redirect you to new pages according to that category so you can take your time browsing through. A search Button is now included on the bottom right of the sidebar to make it easier to search for Vanity Vault’s pieces by Name, price, size, category or materials used in the making of the item!

Contact details still remain the same, and emails are still sent to www.vanity.vault@yahoo.com

Thank you everyone and a Very Happy New Year

April.

Welcome to Vanity Vault

The online Accessories store dedicated to meeting you self obsessive needs!

Here I shall answer some Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why only make a maximum of 3 replicates? Or sometimes even one? *sniff sniff*
Well, I’m not the first to do this as many top designer brands only design certain goods in a single design and leave it to the masses to choose. I’m not comparing myself to a designer in anyway but isn’t it a wonderful feeling say that ‘I’m the only one who has this?’ (Do excuse me, I’m a ‘limited edition’ and ‘one and only’ person myself :D)

Also I always can’t keep stock of enough materials to even replicate the pieces. Pieces where you can see replicates of 3 would mean I only have that much stock of raw materials to make them.

2. Where do you get your materials from?
Anywhere and everywhere. Locally and most of them Imported(Australia, USA, South Africa, Korea, China, Japan, Singapore, Austria, India, you name it). I believe in exploring the world around me throughly and I love experimenting with different textures and materials.

3. Where do you get your inspiration from.
You wouldn’t believe it if I told you. Everywhere… from architecture, to design, to cultural exchange, through books, via nature and even to a piece of juicy steak! (yes these were all sold and some of you are wearing them already)

4. Are your Swarovski Crystals authentic?
Most definitely. Swarovski crystals are imported from the Swarovski factory in Austria started by Daniel Swarovski.

5. When do I update?
On very random intervals. If I don’t update means my computer has encountered a glitch or I’ve fallen sick which happens quite oftens XD . But no worries, I’m always well enough to produce new pieces.

6. But I REALLY REALLY WANT THAT PIECE THAT’S SOLD OUT!!! GIMME GIMME PLEASE PLEASE!!!
Ok; so there are some pieces (a very small percentage) which actually can be duplicated. But this is HIGHLY DEPENDENT on two things

1. If there are materials left to reproduce

AND

2. If intital buyers allow the piece to be reproduced.

The latter would very much take from hours to a few days as it takes time for to get to other people ya?

Send me a mail and ask me about the pieces you are interested in to the Yahoo! mail stated on the side bar

7. How do I order?
Send me a mail and ask me about the pieces you are interested in to the Yahoo! mail stated on the side bar

8. Can I give you suggestions or send you mail?
Yes of course :) Suggestions and comments are always welcomed. No spam please.
