Company Name for a Hijab Store - edb

I need your suggestions.. Really! Seriously!

Some of you may know, others and new comers may not... I have been running a Turkish hijab and clothing shop for 2.5 years now (also sell via Facebook).

I first started off under the name edb Scarves & Designs. Initially I wanted edb Designs, but it was already taken by some tech/industrial company. So I couldn't get it registered. I wasn't too comfy with edb Scarves & Designs, because it's too long. Then I went for edb Collection, which is what I have been operating with for a year now. However, I'm still not happy.

The edb is from my middle name Edibe (Adeeba in Arabic). I really like the way the letters look together. That's why I always write it in small letters. :)

Now, I'm wondering if I should stick with edb Collection or go for something like edb Fashion, edb Clothing, edb Hijab, or edb Moda. Any other suggestions???

I am going to have my official online shopping website up soon inshaallah (finally! I'm changing web designers), so the name needs to be consistent. Oh, another question! I have many online shoppers and many Facebook followers. Online a certain fraction shop via Facebook. Just wondering if an official online shop for my products would be more of an incentive for you to shop from me? I understand some just feel insecure when shopping via Facebook, but some on the contrary prefer it because of the interaction. What do you think?

On a final note, a super dooper competition is coming soon. So keep your eyes glued on this blog. :)))

Over and Out

Turkish Brand Watch: SETRMS

Turkish brands have slowly started to release their 2010-2011 A/W catalogues online. The season was opened in September, but they prefer to delay their catalogue to prevent other companies from stealing their designs before they manufacture them. It's pretty common in Turkey, so I understand their caution.

Anyhow, there are a few brands I will be introducing in the next few posts, but today's brand is SETRMS.

The name comes from the Arabic word "satr" (meaning: cover, to cover...).

SETRMS is an Ankara brand. I've been observing and researching them for the past 2 years, but I only purchased from them (for my shop) last July. I like their style (even though some are really ewwwww) and quality. They have a very very large range in their showroom, but only display 10-15 in their catalogue for the reason above.

Before going on to the photos, I must add that I found Ankara brands to be of higher quality and classier than Istanbul brands. So I will be sharing more Ankara brands with you soon...

Here are some of my likes from the SETRMS 2010-2011 A/W Collection:

This is my favourite from the catalogue. I absolutely love the frill detail!

I do like the jacket, but I'm more interested in the shirt. Looks oh so sweet don't you think? :) But I hate what the photographer has done. So much for creative potography :/

Absolutely love this. I would love to see them re-create this style for their 2011 S-S collection using a different type of fabric.

I wouldn't wear so much white, but I love it. It looks nice and crisp... and cold :)))

The fur isn't so much me, but don't you just adore the pleats on the bottom? This looks hot though... even with the faux fur :)

I would not buy this in the faux leather look, but I would definitely consider if they tried out the same design in a different fabric!

Simple. Elegant. But I don't like the stunned mullet look on the model's face. I do talk too much, but c'mon! That's the first thing that strikes me when I look at the photo. :)

Nice. An Ankara Classic. Nothing more to say...

Has anyone tried SETRMS products yet? If you haven't then you haven't been to my shop yet LOL But nah, seriously, if you have tried any, would you like to share your thought and experiences regarding the brand/item you purchased from them? Also, which is your favourite SETRMS from this collection? Care to share? :))

Oh, and I also like how SETRMS chose to use plain scarves unlike their other competitors who use the print scarves. I think the plain ones look quite good actually even though I'm a print scarf freak myself. :)
