No More Human Billboards

2007-09-04T12:19:00.000-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

No More Human Billboards With Big Logos and Bags That Need A Mortgage

Sophisticated, quality, stylish handbags are finding an elite showcase at Delcina.com’s highly-edited and educational webstore.

DELCINA celebrates the “design of the bag.” DELCINA President Jean Ouyang created the webstore to showcase handbags that reflect her own personal passion and belief: handbags of luxury and style from independent designers. Catering to the 25 to 38 style-conscious and savvy consumers, she personally cherry-picks each handbag based on practicality, look, make and material.

“I think women are tired of being used as human billboards with big logos and bags that need a mortgage. The designing talents of today are confident of their personal values and can match the quality and style of the major brands.” Says DELCINA President Jean Ouyang. “We find that the indies don’t have the brand cushion so they must tap into their imagination to create new, fresh, different.”

The obsession began when Jean treated herself to a Salvatore Ferragamo patent leather purse at the age of 24. Back then, the gold hardware was dipped in gold 7 times; the standard lining was suede. A decade later, that same purse is still on the social scene with her. With deep research and frequent interviews, Jean compiles a database of touchpoints on each designer, feeding and educating the technical buyers.

At DELCINA, each handbag is a starlet. This has very little to do with Lindsay Lohan and Halle Berry being photographed in them. It has everything to do with showcasing the most desired handbags before they even hit retail.

Our Newest Designer: Jenny Yuen at DELCINA.COM

2007-08-22T15:59:00.000-07:00

Welcome Jenny!

We looked long and hard to grow our family of independent designers. And Jenny Yuen is here!

With an impressive resume that includes Takashi Murakami, the Japanese pop artist, where Jenny Yuen worked on collaborative projects with Marc Jacobs, culminating in the omni-present Louis Vuitton "Eye Love" and "Cherry Blossom", it's no wonder Jenny took on the handbag world with panache. Jenny's BU and Parson's schooling along with the artistic expression pairs her technical construction with unprecedented style.

Ultra-luxe Italian leather, gold-plated hardware, custom gold charm are standards for Jenny. Not surprisingly, she's already on September's Lucky mag.

COLOR.LI.CIOUS

2007-04-18T09:54:00.000-07:00

COLOR.LI.CIOUS

Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts, whether it be music, poetry, color, or even an ice cream sundae.

In our visual experiences, harmony is that which is pleasing to the eye. We like to call it COLOR.LI.CIOUS. It engages us and gives us an inner sense of balance, peace and order. When something is not COLOR.LI.CIOUS, it's either boring or chaotic. At one end of this equilibrium, it's a visual experience that is so bland that we are not engaged and our brains reject the under-whelming stimuli. At the other end of this equilibrium, it's a visual experience that is so overdone, so chaotic, that we can't bear to look at it and our brains reject all that is not processed or understood.

COLOR.LI.CIOUS delivers visual intrigue and sense of all that is balanced.

Gucci's Handbag Makers Rely on Migrants Risking Lives in Sahara

2007-01-10T09:41:00.000-08:00

"Made in Italy." Perhaps. But probe a little deeper and one learns that our world is more globally complex and intertwined than meets the eye. Bloomberg's article reveals that Fendi, Gucci, Tod, etc, handbag production while may be made on Italian soil, they certainly are not made by Italian hands.

Murderous Descent, by Dawn Miller

2006-10-02T01:17:00.000-07:00

Due out November 20th at Publish America and Amazon.
Published by Publish America.

MURDEROUS DESCENT, by Dawn Miller

When Susan Reed, the third wife of Dylan Reed, the popular star of the cult science fiction series SPACE AVENGERS, is found dead in her Spring Lake, New Jersey, swimming pool. Elementary school teacher/amateur sleuth Jamie Hamilton is the only one who suspects foul play. However, the tide soon turns against the aging actor who portrayed the infamous Captain Travis Keating when one of his bitter co-stars, David Montgomery, appears in an interview accusing Dylan Reed of murdering his wife as well as the up and coming actor who was to take over the helm in the new fall NBC Avenger series.

At first convinced of Reed’s guilt, Jamie’s tune changes slightly when her husband Michael is retained to defend his adolescent hero. She puts aside her doubts of innocence to embark on a quest to help Michael clear his high profile client.

As she delves deeper into the lives of the aging Avenger stars, Jamie discovers more than one skeleton along the way. Will she uncover the truth in time or become another victim?

It's In The Bag...DELCINA's Merchandise Selection Criteria and Process

2006-03-12T03:03:00.000-08:00

A handbag is not that much different from an investment product. Yeah, there are the colors, the sizes, the ROR, the yield, etc. But, after you break it down, the same decision-making process cascades through all of our chosen merchandise. Wall Street's intense information onslaught has taught us that due diligence pays.

The funny part is when we decide to carry a line, it's usually after months of studying, researching and filtering. Here are some of our criteria in evaluating a designer and its line:

+ Value
+ Intentions
+ Quality
+ Uncompromising material
+ Details
+ Design
+ Practicality
+ Durability...in time and style

So it's no surprise that when we decide to carry a handbag line, soy candles, or letterpress stationery, these products undoubtedly get press or PR coverage from Lucky, InStyle, Elle, Marie Claire, Vogue, style.com...you get the idea!

Here's one advantage you might not have noticed: Some web sites are sales-tax free....That's because under current law, online retailers aren't required to collect sales tax unless they have a physical presence (brick-and-mortar store, warehouse, etc.) in a shopper's home state..."

Handbags: A Labor of Love

2005-09-02T14:57:00.000-07:00

Jean, the owner of DELCINA, looooves handbags. Shoes too, but that's a whole different ballgame!

She reminisces about her first $100+ bag (a leather tote from The Tannery on Broadway (downtown New York)). She used to pass by the store to-and-from NYU Business School and the train station. The hunter green distressed leather was thick with strength while beautifully treated for smoothness. Now 15 years later, she still has that good-looking tote, looking better than ever. Funny thing, her little one's now using it to lug books to-and-from the library.

A handbag doesn't have to be so serious as to "define" you. Jean does believe, however, that bags must satisfy a practical need as much as be an accessory. Something needs to hold the cell/pda, hunka wallet, keys, eye drops, lipstick, water bottle, snacks, magical toys...why not look good at the same time!

So it's not surprising that DELCINA is launching its own line of handbags. Function, style and sophistication flow through each design, expectedly!

> featured supple leather
> pretty canvas lining with unbelievable details
> interior zipper + cell + pda pockets
> added interior strip stitching for durability
> distinctive metal zippers
> uniformed, shiny brass hardware
> leather trim
> DELCINA suede label

Enjoy and have fun,

""I'm just celebrating my life," said Ms. Fitzpatrick, the mother of three grown sons.
I don't have the disease to please anymore," explained Ms. Dirienzo, whose daughter has graduated from college.
"I'm pleasing me."
