Belen Echandia handbags are rarely on sale because the price point relative to workmanship and quality is already excellent and our Italian handbags are made in such small quantities that we usually sell out quickly.

Despite this we know that everyone loves the occasional bargain so for the last 5 years we have consistently rewarded our regular customers with exclusive 3-day sales in addition customer competitions and the best customer service. We also recently introduced a sample sale to allow those in the know to purchase our display samples at a fraction of their actual value.

Now we have something a bit different, for those who are new to Belen Echandia. We know that there are many of you who are thinking of making a purchase but haven’t yet taken the plunge. Perhaps you wonder how the shipping will work from outside the US, perhaps you have heard about BE but you don’t know enough about our bags, or perhaps you are wondering what makes Belen Echandia handbags special.

Now we are going to give you the opportunity to find out!

Italian-made handbags are a little bit more expensive but their quality and longevity makes them worth it. Personally I have always taken the view that I would rather own 2 or 3 beautifully-constructed, good-quality pieces than many cheaper items, none of which truly makes the grade. But then I really don’t like to compromise. The BE woman tends to share this with me. Moreover, because BE is focusing on its online sales, we are able to afford things that other companies cannot. We are actually adding details and extras, just as other companies are removing their name tags and mirrors in order to save money.

With Belen Echandia bags you get more than you pay for!

Introducing Pink Tuesday

We recently learned that Friday 28th November is known as Black Friday in the US and historically is the day on which many great sales take place. Since BE is known for its use of colour, we decided to hold our very own Pink Tuesday for BE newbies. It will work like this:

1.On Pink Tuesday (25th November) anyone who has never purchased from Belen Echandia before or who has not purchased for at least one year shall be able to purchase with 40% off current stock (one bag per person only) AND free shipping.

Why 40%? And how can we afford to give such a large discount? The truth is, we can’t really, but we believe that it will be worth it in the long-term, since so many customers tell us that once they have bought a BE, they never look back. Most of our customers tell us that once they buy a BE, they actually rarely use another bag. So our reasoning is, that if we can introduce you to our bags and you love them, we will be able to design more and more for you in the future. We believe in developing relationships with our customers and a relationship is a two-way process. So we want to meet you halfway.

2. Alternatively, you will be able to order a bespoke bag with no extra charge.

Jackie, Ashley and Rose will all be on hand throughout the day to guide you through the process. We will be dedicating all our time on Pink Tuesday to assisting new customers and we will talk with you either by telephone or email, the choice is yours.

3. For those who are not new to BE, please do help us to spread the word to family, friends, colleagues and anyone else you think would love our Italian workmanship, designs and the experience of buying from Belen Echandia on Pink Tuesday. It is such an amazing opportunity that we don’t want anyone to miss out so if you write a blog, own a website or just want to shout from the rooftops, THANK YOU!

If you do mention BE and feel comfortable doing so, ask your friend to let us know that he/she heard about BE because of you. We will not forget!

I am very excited to be able to offer this opportunity and I hope that you are too.

Much love from London.

A rather exhausted…but excited.
