<p>On<strong> December 1</strong><sup><strong>st</strong></sup>, Ebay will launch its first ever store! A small pop up open for 5 days and closing on 5<sup>th</sup> December. The <a title="http://deals.ebay.co.uk" href="http://deals.ebay.co.uk" target="_blank">ebay</a> store that will open on <strong>Dean Street</strong> which is just off <strong>Oxford Circus </strong>is  not going to be a conventional retail store and will feature a limited  selection of products including a display of 200 predicted best sellers, giving you the chance to sample/test them out  before buying them as opposed to making a gamble like the current Ebay  system.</p>
<p>You&rsquo;ll get to see everything but will not be permitted to take them  home. Rather, customers will make purchases using their smart phones to  scan in a QR code on the ticket. The codes will take you directly to  their website where you can bag and pay for your item.&nbsp; Clearly an  interesting concept although the experience appears to be limited to  those who are Ebay users and/or own a smartphone with the QR code  scanning functionality.</p><p>Source: Ebay pop up store (http://yinnyang.co.uk/2011/11/ebay-to-open-store-five-day-experiment/#more-36687)</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Topshop Owner To Close Up To 260 UK Stores - It's a sad day</title><id>http://www.fashionfemme.co.uk/blog/2011/11/24/topshop-owner-to-close-up-to-260-uk-stores-its-a-sad-day.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.fashionfemme.co.uk/blog/2011/11/24/topshop-owner-to-close-up-to-260-uk-stores-its-a-sad-day.html"/><author><name>Clare</name></author><published>2011-11-24T14:07:48Z</published><updated>2011-11-24T14:07:48Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<h2><em>The retail group that owns popular high street chains including  Topshop, Miss Selfridge and BHS is to close up to 260 stores after a  sharp fall in profits.</em></h2>
<p><em>Arcadia profits are down by more than a third to just over &pound;133m - compared to &pound;213m last year.</em></p>
<p><em>Billionaire fashion entrepreneur Sir Philip Green, who owns the company, blames the drop in performance on the weather.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>He told Sky News an unseasonably warm autumn has followed last year's cold winter.</em></p>
<p><em>The Arcadia group has 2,500 clothing stores in the UK.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Sir Philip said he expects up to 260 of these to disappear from the  high street over the next couple of years as the company "reshapes our  portfolio".</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Sir Philip also told Sky News he is planning to expand his fashion  empire overseas by bringing the Top Shop brand to China in the next 12  months.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>But he warned there is no "silver bullet" that can sort out the UK economy</em></p>
<p>Topshop is a firm favourite of ours here at FF, with Miss Selfridge not far behind but aside from the shame of the poor state of the UK economy BHS can gladly do one!</p>

<p>The capsule collection comprises of Shoulder bags, Satchels, Totes and Clutch bags with prices ranging from &pound;125 - &pound;195 reasonable much? Can't quite decide between the Carnaby and the Holland, perhaps both will go on my Christmas list - loving that yummy, sumptuous purple lining!</p>
