We are currently having to once again move workshop, and will be moving house very soon, and I really loathe having to pack everything up, get it all in a van, take it to the new place and then unload it all at the other end. It's tedious, back breaking and boring, and that's not even mentioning how time consuming it is. And thanks to the amount of steel we put into our corsets, they weigh a whole lot, and the move becomes a hundred times harder when you have to lug a few hundred of these up several flights of stairs to the new workshop. It's not fun and I really don't want to do it.
So that's where our Black Friday sale comes into the equation.
We're currently running a pre-move/early Black Friday sale. We've discounted a huge amount of our corsets that are currently listed in our Etsy store. A lot of these are from our Autumn collection and are 25% off. Half of the corsets were already half price, and you're now getting an additional 25% off these ones, so we're not even covering our fabric, boning, and component costs on these ones, we just really need the space (and don't want to have to break our backs to move them very shortly). We're also offering an added incentive to order this week, as anyone whose order totals $500 or more (before shipping), and orders between now and midnight (GMT) on Thursday the 25th can choose one ready to ship corset of their choice from our shop, up to the value of $120, absolutely free. Your $500 order can include skirts, blouses, jackets, in stock corsets (sale or otherwise) plus made to order corsets. So if you've had your eye on a made to order corset, a few skirts and a ready to wear corset, then you could potentially purchase the made to order corset and the skirts, and receive the ready to wear corset for free!
And in case you aren't checking through our whole store, here are some of the beauties that are currently in stock and less than $120, so could be your totally free corset.
So that's this weeks offer, now on to the Black Friday sale.
We've been on 14-16 hour days since August. Last year we thought we could get away with a 10 hour day-big mistake-we were totally unprepared for Black Friday and couldn't do half as much as we wanted, and the sale we ran was a little disappointing to say the least. So this year we've really knuckled down, worked our fingers to the bone, almost sent each other crackers from the stress, late nights and long days, but we think it will be worth it.
We will be offering huge, huge reductions, anything from $50 up to $150 off an item, and we have made tonnes of awesome items just for this sale. There will be shipwrecked rag skirts, one off bustle skirts, jackets, blouses and of course tonnes of corsets. We've trialled several new designs and will be offering these at a large discount on the day, as well as tried and tested popular designs, such as our Belle overbust design, and plenty of longline underbust corsets by request and overwhelming demand.
So on the day, our sale will be starting at midday GMT (London). This equates to 4am LA local time and 7am NY local time according to my calculations and patchy knowledge of time zone differences (as well as a good old Google search). We'll be listing the stock as quickly as possible, but it will take several hours for it all to go live, due to the volume of items we've managed to make thus far, and there will be plenty more made this week. There will only be one of each corset in each size available during the sale, and we won't be making any repeats, so we advise that if you see something you like, then grab it as quickly as you want. We are of course offering combined shipping on multiple purchases, so grab what you want as you see it, and just add to your order as you want and as new items go live.
Even though we won't be offering multiples of corsets, and there will only be one of each size in each design, we have made sure that we've made as large a range of sizes as was possible, so there's a great chance that you'll find something in your size during this sale. To simplify things further, we're listing all items to show the size range they will fit, rather than their actual size, so if a skirt/corset/blouse will fit a 24-28 inch waist, then if your waist measurements is within this range then the item will fit you-no need to worry about choosing the wrong size, you can just grab and go!
We will be offering several of each skirt (where fabric stock allowed us to) during the sale, and will be listing the full inventory of what is available-so if an item is listed as 5 in stock, then that's how many we have made and ready to go.
Lastly (I think), we will be offering the first 25 customers on the day a coupon for 25% off their next order, which will be mailed with your order or convoed over to you.
So, if you've ever wanted to own one of our corsets or outfits, then now really is the time to order.
That turned into a bit of a mammoth post, I'm off to rest my fingers now!
