Partnership Program with Major Brand/store expansion

It is in the process, that I am happy to give you this news to my customers and my friends. Partnership program with SL's leading brand will be announced soon. My application is accepted, and trial tool was given.

I have seen the new development with this brand and I decided that this program will benefit both my brand and their brand as well. Their products and their customer service has been exceptional to this day, and my product line could fill the niche of their existing product lines.

To me, there is a certain areas of SL that impossible to cover, and their program will provide me with full service to the demanding needs of SL. In fact, I was considering discontinue selling these products just because the function I cannot provide nor cost/service effective for me to develop/maintain on my own.

However this new opportunity would give me a lot of inspiration to produce new product line and expand my brand offering, so I will keep you posted about this.

***
Aside from this, I am also considering to add new division of Daini Ken Brand for different product line by teaming up with talented creators who are happened to be my personal , trusted friends.

I think this new store concept is fairly unknown in SL even though virtually every fashion and/or consumer products are developed, produced marketed in this way.

Daini Ken Brand can provide talented but upstart creators who does not have known store front to sell their products, by concentrating on producing high quality items without going through all the trouble of advertising and establishing brand/store and traffic.

I have no plans in the future to recruit random designers/creators from public.

****
So look out for announcements and news for next month or two.

For SL Exchange, Lucky 7 box set will be available for now. 1750L for 7 hats. (For some reason, I sell box sets of cowboy hats a lot more than individual items... therefore I will see how this one will go. )





7 Revamped/updated hats coming soon!!!

Ever popular Top hat series and Conquistador hat, plus New Spanish style hat never been sold at my store (but I worn on my own as a proto type) will be re-fitted with resize script and embellishments with new texture.

These styles will be in black and white embellishments, only. As always, I do not sell my products in every primary color.

All of the base hats are tested under windlight environment and various light conditions. Textures are refitted and either darken or lighten to make it more classy and attractive ( More than what it was!!! Yes, it is possible!).

I received compliments yesterday from my customer who said my hats are still the best out there. Thanks and it inspired me to make the best hats even better.

peak Sales Rank #200 Goth Cowboy Hat

Another hit item from Daini Ken Cowboy hat series.According to SL exchange sales ranking, my newest design is ranked #200 .

Daini ken designs Goth Cowboy Hat -Padova V2

I have to credit one of my good friend Nyk for the inspiration.

Actually this hat was not really planned at all. Nyk asked me for different style and I was not sure if I ever able to put together. yet inspiration came not long afterward, so there it was. He is such a loyal friend that he would rather buy it from me, rare quality in pixel world, definitely.

As for the name Padova, its just the name to differentiate from other styles. I thought name of the Italian region could be good, since it has unique leather texture.

I found this style fits especially great for smaller size av or female av. But of course, it comes with resizer script, so you do not have to worry about the size at all.

I may paste the picture of Padova worn by one of my friend in the future. (I will ask her.)
