My best friend and I spend quality time shopping for clothes and shoes. We usually schedule it on a weekend and we spend the whole day (10AM to 8PM) at the mall. We go through stalls one by one, rummaging through tons of items in the store.
Sometimes, I dread the travel time and the influx of shoppers in the mall. I also have to worry about the queue in the dressing room plus the availability of the clothing sizes.
So when I heard about a new online shopping site catering to Filipinos. I got excited!
Imagine not having to go through all the hassle of going to the mall, parking the car, walking endlessly around the mall, fitting through clothes, queue on the cashier, and carrying a lot of shopping bags! All we need to do is just go to the shopping site, choose among the available items for sale, pay online, and wait for the delivery to arrive at your place. Everything is done at the safety of our own home or anywhere for that matter 🙂
The site is kasha.com.ph, an online shopping site that promises to bring the most wanted items, signature apparel/accessories and special collections from some of the popular fashion brands in the country.
I know most people are fond of foreign brands, but I still prefer local brands. That’s why Kasha is a welcome news for me! Kasha is actually a term from a Filipino word Kasya, which means fit.
When I browsed through the site earlier, I learned the reason why the site was named as such. Kasha is really all about fit. They pulled away from the norm wherein only a photo of the clothing plus the prices & shipping details are there. What Kasha did differently is that every piece of clothing has actual measurements indicated in the site.
Take note that it’s not as simple as extra-small (XS), small (S), medium (M) or large (L). Kasha not only provides the standard size, they also give actual measurements of the clothing in inches. I like the idea considering I always struggle as to how big a size is.
The Filipino retail brands behind Kasha are Freeway, Ensembles and Solo. To celebrate this breakthrough, Kasha is giving 20% off on all items until July 15, 2012. Isn’t that such a treat?
Here are the major features of the Kasha:
- Convenient and Safe Online Shopping – credit cards, bank deposit and GCash payment methods are available. A flat rate of Php100 shipping fee applies no matter how many items we order! Php 100 is a small amount to pay if we compare it with the parking fees, gasoline and the time we spend when shopping at the mall 😛
- Fit Guide – the best feature of Kasha as this sets it apart from other shopping sites. The sizing illustration (which I posted earlier in this post) helps ensure that we get the right measurement from the clothes that we order in Kasha.
- Product Reviews – we can write a review of the clothing or accessory in the site. I do hope they add an option wherein we can rate them from 1-5 stars, that would get them more reviews for their products.
- Wish List – I always love wish lists because this organizes my thoughts and plans when it comes to buying clothes. If you want to see mine. You can go to my wish list page.
Congratulations Solo, Freeway and Ensembles! This is definitely a step to the right direction! Thanks for giving us more options in purchasing your products. I do hope you feature more sale items in the future.
