I thought the perfect way to start my "official blogging year," albeit one month delayed from the more popular "new year," was to take on something I’ve always enjoyed doing. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Kultic (www.kultic.com).
If you happened to click the above link, you might by now realize what it is that I love to do. Yep! Whether OL (online) or IRL (in real life), shopping is very close to my heart. There. Now if this ain’t your thing, feel free to close this window. NOW!
More specifically, I love pants–denims, that is–quite a tad bit more than the usual. After giving the rest to charity during the holiday season, I still have close to 30 pairs of jeans in my closet. One more is coming my way in five to seven days when Order No. 887 arrives from Kultic’s Florida base.
Oh, the joys of the internet! You can actually get 100% authentic True Religion jeans (I love the pockets on these!) for less than what they sell at Greenbelt, US$31 delivery fee notwithstanding. Sheer inaneness, you think? Well, cashing out on fake TRs at Greenhills or Market!Market! (I just love to say that aloud with feelings!!!!) might be a little more inane for me. TRs are supposed to be Made in the USA, and not in some sweatshop in Sino Land or Siam. Hence, the best way to get TRs, at least for me, is right in the online mall.
With its wide array of premium denims, tops and accessories, Kultic is a great place to look for trends in fashion. Another one would have been ASOS (www.asos.com) but since their London warehouse burned down in the middle of 2005, they haven’t been able to restore their delivery services to most of Asia, the Philippines included. Locally, I think People are People has very good selections and I have made a sizable purchase from their shops all around the Metro, what with their fair pricing and great designs.
Oh, by the way, I prefer Kultic over other online premium fashion stores, because unlike YOOX (www.yoox.com), they deliver by express mail (5-7 days) and not by UPS or other special freight services which charge as much as 30% of the amount of purchase upon delivery (I remember I had to pay upwards of P5K to UPS for a parcel from Yoox!) So with Kultic, you wouldn’t have to shell out anything when receiving their parcel, you just sit and wait till the parcel arrives. It’s the same thing with ASOS; you wouldn’t have to pay for anything upon receipt of the wares, but as I’ve mentioned earlier, they no longer deliver to old P.I. since mid-2005.
If you know of other online fashion stores out there that offer great deals, do inform me. I’ve been having a hard time looking for good deals on the net that match those of Kultic. You know, there’s really no better alternative than the best!
