oops, she did it again

The title simply sums up all that we have to say.

Unscrupulous and despicable acts going on AGAIN. First selling defective goods.

NOW steal our design and mass produce.

Well oh well, money makes the world go round.

Shall save my breath and speak no more.

We believe in KARMA.

She’s probably the only person that can raise my blood pressure. (I have very low pressure. Thanks but no thanks)

Anyhow, BO for short sleeves knit top is up! What’s available post updated too.

Gonna crash now!

Have a lovely weekend ahead!

XOXO

JAS

some snippets!

wonder why we can’t do without our model?

read on!

it’s always amazing how she poses after the flash went and still looking so good..

while we are…. ermm…

looking ??? (can’t find the word to describe)

definitely not good enough to pose ourselves….

so we better go back to doing our emails! hehe.

Collection #16 launched!

With much love from

Kyen & Jas

hehehe.. updates!

we’re feeling so guilty to leave this space neglected. on the other hand, we are working hard these couple of weeks too. :) if you realized, we’ve been trying our best to update every week despite our hectic schedules. nonetheless, we are really happy doing it because of the response given by you girls!

C#14 and C#15 are up!!!

some items were snapped up really fast, and they are exclusively imported, so we’re really sorry that we can’t open BO for you all. :( and also because we want items over here to be of limited quantities for exclusivity.

but here are some of our favourites, which we can’t find any reasons for you to miss them!

(actually we love everything here, or we won’t be bringing in them for you!)

Bodycon dresses are all in the rage now, and we think they should be listed as a classic soon. Who don’t love dresses that makes them look slim and svelte? This piece here does everything a bodycon dress should do. Hides the tummy, brings out the curves and what’s more? made of very comfortable material!!

Autumn / Winter season is coming and knitted wears are up next in the trend.

You might think it’s crazy to wear them in Singapore, but hey! we know that lecture halls and offices are places that are freezing cold.. so don them as throwovers :) look casual yet not so simple and sloppy in them.

definitely good for school go-ers we think!

more knitted wear/throwovers coming up… so stay tune if you’re a fan!

last but not least…

our all time favourite, floral dresses.

a mixture of floral vintage prints and mesh is a piece not to be missed!

this piece is a sell-out and we’re really upset we can’t get BO for this. :(

and many many more.. CLICK!

OH YES! we’ve also increased our designs from 6 per collection to 10. would that be better or you prefer to have lesser designs per collection and update more frequently? let us know!

ONE more thing.. we’ve an ongoing promo coupon.

quote ‘$3off’ to enjoy for every $30 purchase and above!

LAST 2 DAYS, so hurry!

LAST thing.. a shout out to you girls…

THANK YOU!!!

it really warms our hearts to see those encouragements with regards to the unhappy episode (read the post below). thanks girls! you don’t know how much they mean to us.

do continue to give us your support, okay? :))

loves! ♥

Our Manufactured Label

*Edited to make more clarifications.*

After a three months worth of hardwork, tears and blood (okay, not literally),  finally… it’s out.

This piece, is our first manufactured label. We took the pains to alter the measurements to fit, choosing the best fabric with our principal of not compromising its quality because of the price, and chasing the supplier the umpteen times to deliver the goods promptly.

We were delighted to see the finished product, like a first mum.

But little did we know, what lies ahead of us was a series of unfortunate events, or should we say, we have truly witness the ugly side of a business(wo)man. Mercenary, untrustworthy, no business ethics.

And the story goes like this..

After the time spent altering the measurements and cut, choosing the material, she promised goods to be delivered in tip top condition.

Well, it did arrive on time. As it was in a batch that was difficult to scrutinize piece by piece, she promised that if there are any defects, we can returned to her for an exchange. And there and then, we spotted a piece that was ironed badly. She told us to try washing the clothes and let her know if the marks/stains can’t be removed.

So we did as accordingly. But Kyen’s parents, who have had experiences with fabric and cloth advised us that such marks cannot be removed despite the numerous washings. Iron marks on SATIN CANNOT BE REMOVED. (now it makes us wonder, how can a supplier not know this fact? ) The heat for those industrial iron is too high for the material to take, and it leaves a mark – SHINY and looks a teeny weeny melted. Some even have zip marks on them! For those who have such experience, will understand how exactly this works. And it’s not because the satin material is soft, filmsy and low graded, it’s the nature of satin.

We confronted her with those defective pieces of ALMOST the entire batch. It was only after much screamings and false accusations and everything else (WE’RE STILL FUMING MAD WHENEVER WE ARE REMINDED OF THIS), she agreed to change the batch. We received a new batch after, in excellent condition.

Case close? NO.

Recently, we found out that she has SOLD those defective pieces to other people (how many? we really do not know!) Yes, we are upset that it wouldn’t be exclusive to us anymore, but that’s not the point! The point is that HOW CAN SHE DO THAT?! We are shocked that she actually sold them the defective pieces and probably told them the same stuff she tried to smoke through us. It’s certainly not acceptable. We have already decided to stop working with her the moment she showed her true colors. As for other sellers who have gotten this design for your collections, we’re terribly sorry that we are unable to contact you regarding this issue as we really have no idea how many she has sold and who is selling them. But do drop us a mail if you’re got queries about it yeah? Also, we have no intentions to bring down your shop by saying you are selling defective stuff. It’s just that all these are too much of a coincidence to be true. We did get someone to enquire and it’s a fact that she did keep those defective pieces with her, and is willing to let go to those who wants them. Please understand from our position.

You may like to ask us, how do you know the pieces she sold are ours? Because the second batch has measurements different from the first and we have compared to realize those belong to the old batches.

Mmm to some, satin stains may not be a defect. But we certainly do feel that it’s very unglam to wear a top with iron marks and patches all over, and of course, we do care about the quality of clothes we sell although for some, we can’t really control them :(

As such, we are selling this gorgeous piece at its cost price inclusive of postage fees.

Having to grumble everything here, we understand this is part and parcel of running a business too. Definitely an insight and unforgettable experience for both of us.

And of course, we do not want to waste our breath reasoning out with people whom does not have this word in her dictionary, so we are graciously dropping this matter as we prefer to channel our energy to working something else better for KYRSTELLA!  More house labels are on the way…

So do continue to support us! :)

:)

Hey girls! Sorry for the emptiness here.

We’ve been caught up with work and Kyrstella with hardly any time for sleep. But all’s worthwhile because we have seen how supportive and encouraging you girls have been. :)

Yes, we have a new layout, new model and have moved to studio shots. Hopefully, they have all brought you a brand new shopping experience right here at Kyrstella.

Collection 11 and 12 have been launched!

And we are glad that you girls like them as much as we do. Most items are specially picked and sourced locally and overseas. No more worries about bumping into another girl wearing the same thing as you!

More office wear are now launched in our current collections, as well as our upcoming ones. But of course, we are not forgetting those who love girly dresses or casual pieces.

And a piece of great news for you…. our very first piece of manufactured label has arrived. We have ordered a quantity just enough to not disappoint all of you, yet limited to retain its exclusivity. No backorders as well, so do grab it before it’s gone! It’ll be most likely up on our new collection, so do stay tune for more :)

Have a fab weekend all!

XOXO
JAS & KYEN
