Very nicely done.  Now compare that to the mess known as Express and ask where buyers would be more likely to shop even if Endless didn't offer free overnight shipping (and no counterfeits).

Wow. That is going to be a formidable site. Looks ideal. Weird to see a big company doing something smart. Who are their suppliers? Direct from the manufacturer?  Kim

This handbag is really cool, actually:

it's made from recycled candy wrappers.

Also, I like the feature that allows you to drag a magnifying glass over any part of the product image to see a good close-up of each area.

OK I have been on this site for an hour. The only thing keeping me from going imelda style crazy are the prices. However there are still some really good deals on the sale section.

I just wish they carried Born's and Josef Seibel, my all time favs.  :-\

I wish I could afford to build a store like that.
