Saturday Shop Alert : Chimera Online

It's Saturday again and you all know what that means... Saturday Shop Alert time!

Today I'm featuring Chimera Online Shop, a web based shop run by two lovely ladies that are fashion savvy and updated on the latest trends. Read on to know more about the shop an what they offer...

1-a. Tell us something about the person/s behind the shop.

Kaye (aka Shae Krizia V. Romualdo) and Keyt (aka Lillian Kate C. Diso) started Chimera On Line Shop with the vision to be Eco Friendly through Reinventing and Recreating. Kaye is a Registered Nurse who ventured into her passion as an entrepreneur to solve her unemployment while Keyt is now a Registered Architect who is an On Line Seller at Multiply for about 6 years now. We are childhood friends with same passion for fashion and everything else in between. Keyt is an artistic person who is mostly responsible for Photography, Styling, Production of Eco- Friendly items while Kaye used her PR skills in Sales, Marketing, Product Research, Styling, and HMU. Together, we make an amazing duo perking up our sales and garnering more patrons in just about 6 months of business in Facebook and 7 months of business in Multiply.

1-b. Tell us something about the shop. What it offers etc.

We started purely as an Eco Friendly Shop showcasing Revamped Clothes, Upcycled Accessories, Eco friendly Shoes and Bags. Recently, we perked up our sales by featuring hit and trendy quality products at very affordable and reasonable price.

2. When did you start the business and what inspired you to do so?

Conceptualizing the Shop started in August 2011 where Kaye and Keyt are both unemployed and wanted to earn to help our family. Kaye, with an Eco- Friendly background which she acquired when she started working at EcoOasis in KL, Malaysia, came up with this crazy idea to revamp and reinvent old clothes to make it trendy to move away from the usual preloved collection. Keyt, with her skills and creativity, made this plan into action. We also made accessories from Keyt's pile of beads (she was a "retired" jewelry maker that time). We make researches using the Internet for DIY items and trendy items to keep our products "Stylish". We were also inspired by other on line shops who makes Look books and advertises their photography/ hair, make up, and styling abilities so we also made our own featuring these products. Keyt is the photographer, while Kaye is the stylist and one of the models.

3. What are your "shop" goals for 2012?

Our goal for 2012 is to make Chimera On Line Shop popular and gain many sales as possible because of our future plans-- Kaye wants to save money to use in pursuing Medicine while Keyt needs extra income to support her family, Yes we are ordinary people with same hopes and dreams like anybody. But unlike some, we solve unemployment by using our talents and skills to make a living.

Random Question : Show us your favorite go-to accessory and tell us why you love it.
