The Chinese were always a fashionable race and Chinese ancient clothing was largely influenced by all the dynasties which ruled it. The Han Chinese clothing or the Hanfu has the longest history of clothes worn. The Hanfu rules of dressing were followed strictly as a mark of respect for the culture. On the other hand, ancient Japanese clothing kept changing with every dynasty that ruled Japan. Since the Kimono is a national dress, it has always been mistaken for very ancient clothing worn by the Japanese people which is incorrect.

The basic design of the Ancient Chinese clothing Hanfu was largely developed during the Shang Dynasty. The Shang had two basic styles the Yi which was the coat worn on top and the Shang whichwas the skirt worn beneath it. Buttons on any ancient Chinese clothing was substituted by a Sash. The clothing was in warm tones. The Zhou dynasty in western China varied in the sleeves being narrow as well as broad. The length of the skirt varied from knee length to the ankle and the different sizes and styles created a distinction between the people who wore them. Ancient Chinese clothing used minimal stitching on the garment and the use of embroidery and silk sashes to design the dresses.

Japanese ancient clothing was majorly influenced by Chinese clothing. Vigorous trade between Japan and its continental neighbors brought in Chinese dresses and styles into Japan during the Han Dynasty. The Tang styles and Sui dynasty from China influenced clothing in Japan while it was developing from a collection of loose clans to an Empire. All robes in Japan were to be worn from left to right just like the Chinese. Right to left was considered barbaric in China and the left over right became the conventional rule of wearing a Kimono ever since. During the Heian period (894 specifically), Chinese influence began dying out and Chinese characters began being abbreviated in Japanese script. The Heian court was taken to sensitivity of art and subtle beauty and wardrobe became much more detailed. Colors, combinations and fabric textures changed and separated themselves from Chinese influence.

After the Heian period, the Kamakura period saw a number of clashes and war clans within Japan. The ancient Japanese clothing soon underwent another change and now clothes became more functional. The number of layers and broad sleeved clothes were shunned for more usable clothing. Soon the imperial land split into a southern and northern court and these peoples lives got influenced by the soft court life. Fights resumed and the gradual decadence is obvious in the elaborate dresses of the period. Women had stopped wearing the Hakama and the robes were lengthened to ankle level. Veils and robes over the head were some strange ways experimented and worn during this time.

Japanese ancient clothing was mainly robes and most of the patterns and designs were religious and auspicious. Dragons were printed with nine yellow dragons and five cloud patterns. These heavily embroidered robes were won by the emperors and were auspicious for the wearer. The Cheongsam was another one piece dress adorned by ancient Chinese women. It had a high neck with a closed collar and short or medium sleeves. Buttoned on sides with a fitted waist, it had slits going up from the sides and complemented their figures.

Does having your own children’s clothing company sound appealing? Would you like to have a way to make profits from your home? If yes, you might want to consider starting your own children’s clothing boutique online where you will sell kid’s clothes bought at wholesale prices.

There are several keys to starting your own children’s clothing store. These include: 1) finding unique products, 2) search for suppliers of baby clothes with good quality and prices, 3) sourcing wholesalers efficiently, and 4) marketing your collections.

Fortunately, starting your own small-scale children’s clothing store is something that is ideally suited to stay at home moms and those who do not want to quit their day job.

Finding Suppliers of Baby Layette

Finding a reliable supplier of baby clothes who can deliver high-quality products at affordable prices can be a challenge. It is always a good idea to order a sample pack to make sure the quality and service meet your expectations. while it is unlikely that you will be ready to order tens of thousands of pieces from China or India, there are many baby clothes wholesalers in the United States who sell online.

Marketing Your Collection

There are numerous places you can marketing your unique baby or toddler clothes. An often overlooked place is local children’s clothing boutiques. Other local retailers might include tourist shops or variety stores. Mothers’ groups, day care centers, preschools or other child care facilities often have a need for childrens’ uniforms.

The other big marketing opportunity is, of course, online. While the competition is fierce, the market is huge. At no time in human history has a small one- or two-person shop had access to hundreds of millions of consumers. Great products, a nice website and online marketing savvy are keys to marketing your baby clothes.

In sum, starting your own children’s clothing store online can be done without investing a huge amount of resources. Focus on great designs, finding great baby clothes suppliers, like Little Loungers producing your products efficiently and having a solid marketing plan will go a long way to making your infant to teen clothing store a success.

Is starting your own fashion business something you have thought of before? If you answered yes, try to buy wholesale clothing before starting your business. Buying Wholesale clothing branded or not branded, can give you great discounts and resell them with high profit margins. Buying wholesale clothing can give you many benefits as a businessman.

Any businessmen can accumulate huge profits from their customers simply by buying bulk wholesale clothing and reselling them at bargain prices. The reason for this is because the businessman buys their clothing at an extremely cheap price. They can get as much as 70% discounts for their products. Many people are always searching for cheap clothes to save money, especially with today’s economy. By selling cheap clothes you can take advantage of the poor economy. You can even sell clothes for as little as a dollar by setting up a one dollar store. The profits can be very high with these types of stores if you do it right.

This strategy is one of many. You can even use the internet to sell your wholesale clothing. You can display your products on an auction site and have people bid on them. Just think, for one item you could start it out at one dollar then go as high as 10 dollars. Try selling on a flea market. This is where most people buy cheap clothes. Sell your products at a cheap price. Many people like it cheap and fashionable. Besides, who wouldn’t want to get great quality and fashionable clothing at a cheap price?

You need to search for wholesale clothing dealers that offer great discounts for their products if you want to be successful in the clothing business. When you find one ensure you test the quality by taking a look at the products. You also need to make sure that the designs of the clothing are what people are looking for. By looking at what people are wearing in the streets will give you a good idea and help you to determine which designs people like wearing. Famous people and celebrities will also give you an indication to what the new trend is. Most people look up to celebrities as their idols and like to copy what they wear.

You can buy children’s, women’s or men’s clothing to resell at a cheaper price but it is up to you to determine which one’s you would like to invest in.However, there are many other businessmen in this business. Chances are, you have many competitors in this business that have the same idea as you. The best way to compete with them is to sell cheaper clothes. Find a wholesaler that sells clothes cheaper but has great quality and has designs that people want to buy.

Another strategy to compete with other clothing businesses is to have a promo of “buy one, get one free”. With wholesale clothing, this is possible. You can afford to give away one clothing for every purchase because of the cheap price of acquiring your products. Be sure that you have the numbers right before making this offer.

Escrow Wolves in Sheeps Clothing

The word unscrupulous does not go far enough to describe those who seek to gain by others misfortune or bad luck; we have to add words like devious, deceitful, cunning, and not least of all merciless and cruel.

Predators

For this is the world of praying on the innocent and unsuspecting; and worse even, perpetrating fraud in the guise of help. What, indeed, could be more contemptible?

This is the world where the weary online buyerwell read by now about online auction frauds and false promisesto safeguard his money turns to an online escrow service to make sure that he receives and approves the merchandise before his funds are released to the seller.

He Googles “Online Escrow” and is met with a host of sites, one seeming more legitimate than the next. He reads the “about us” carefully, and as much of the fine print as he has time or mind to absorb. Finally settles on one: Integrity Escrow.

He establishes an account, and his email is verified by the site, over a secure https link. So far so good. Seeing the https and the little security symbol in his browser makes him feel warm and fuzzy.

He then provides the details of the transaction, and, as a final step, deposits the purchase amountin this case $3,500in his newly established escrow account.

And that, as the saying goes, was the last he saw of that money.

Impersonating the Solution

Turns out Integrity Escrow was nothing but a slick impersonation of a bona fide escrow company, establishednormally in China, Russia, or the former Eastern EUfor the sole purpose of stealing your money while pretending to do the exact opposite, i.e., preventing theft.

Did I say unscrupulous? Yes, it is a step down from out and out theft; it is stealing in the guise of helping.

Unfortunately, online escrow fraud is escalating, due to factors such as:

Online identity/credit-card theft
The Anonymity of the Internet
A lamentable lack of public awareness about fraudulent escrow sites
Web hosting companies that allow fraudulent escrow sites to be created with stolen credit cards, and then allow them to remain on their service even after they have been reported.

To this I would add an increasing number of tech savvy criminals with zero concern for their fellow man.

How Do They Do It?

Luckilyfor the Fake Escrow Detectivethose who set up fraudulent escrow sites are, as a rule, lazy people, who wouldnt (probably couldnt) create original copy if their lives depended on it. No, too much work.

Lazy people normally resort to templates, made to order scam sites (which abound as well) where they go to download a respectable site. As for trust-inducing copy, few sites are better than bona fide online escrows, such as Escrow.com, which is where they go for the words.

Voila: A new online escrow site.

The Detectives

The fraudulent online escrow detectives have seen this all before, and many, many times. They recognize the templates; they recognize the words.

And so they should, because those words are normally stolen from their own sitesthese private eyes are normally employed by the bona fide escrow companies to search out, track and close down as many fraudulent sites as possible.

The Hunt

I asked one of these detectives, Brandon Abbey of Escrow.com, how they find out about the fraudulent sites.

“There are a couple of ways we hunt down the fraud sites,” he said.

“Quite often someone calls our customer support department to inquire about a particular site. In this case, the site is reviewed and if fraudulent a notice is sent to the hosting company.

“The note to the hosting company is a request for them to review the site giving consideration to their Terms of Service (TOS) and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), and it usually results in the takedown of the site.

“Some hosting companies, however, take the stance that they are not responsible for the content on their servers regardless of what it is. There are specific laws that address certain things like child pornography but nothing we can point to regarding the escrow fraud.”

What if nobody calls you? I wondered. How do you track them down?

“Often we Google a word-string (phrases) taken from our own site, and youd be surprised how often we get hits. This means weve found a fraudulent site which came to us for the copy.

“Now, when we find a fraudulent copy of our site we can send a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notification to the ISP and that usually works.

“The main problem is that the ISPs are afraid of someone suing them for shutting down a site. The reality is no one has ever been sued by a Romanian scammer.

“We have also built a library of templates, which we can track down; as well as a library of phrases that we Google.

“On a good day (or bad day, depending on viewpoint) some of these searches will come return over a hundred matches. We then inspect each site to see if it is legitimate. If suspicions we forward the notice to the hosting company asking for a TOS and AUP review.

“As you can imagine some hosting companies are better than others. Generally, hosting companies in the US are very responsive.

“Xinnet, on the other hand, a hosting company in China, has supported some of the scam sites for months at a time.”

Valuable Advice

How can, I wondered, the average Internet user protect him- or herself against online escrow fraud?

“Of course,” said my detective, “it is important that people do research on these site before ever sending money or merchandise. In fact, I suggest doing a WHOIS search on the domain. This way you can discover how long the site has been up, where it is being hosted, how many times the site has been taken down. These are clues.

“If it smells fishy at all to you, go elsewhere.”

Safeguard Your Money

It is your money. Handing it over to a cyber criminal probably has not yet made it onto your top-ten list of what to do with it.

There are many great deals online. There are many great auction houses online. There are bona fide online escrow sites, but nowhere near as many as there are fraudulent ones.

Do all the online research you can. When you have found a site that seems legitimate, you can do one of several things:

Firstly, while fraudulent sites can buy the necessary certificate to make it a secure site, they seldom do;
Secondly, you can check at escrow-fraud.com to see if the site you have decided on is listed as a fraudulent site by them; they also maintain a list of bona fide sites;
Thirdly, you can call the sites customer service department to make sure they are based in the United States. If you have any doubts about that, ask them to call you back, and check the caller IDif its an international call, beware. Also, if the site does not have a customer service department, again, beware;
Once you know that youre talking to a U.S. based service department, ask any questions you can think of to ensure they are legitimate, such as which bank are they using for their escrow accounts, and who is their main contact at that bank (whom you can then call to verify that this online escrow company does in deed have an escrow account there);
If the answer is a well-known American bank, and if the customer service rep can supply contact information at the bank, you are 99% there. Then, if you want to reach 100%, make that final call to the bank to rule out any vestige of doubt.

Now you have found an online escrow company you can trust.

Enjoy your purchase.

P.S. Escrow.com is an online escrow company you can trust.
