New Shopping Experience at LittleBlackBag.com

Retail sites have fallen behind in combining the draw of social media to the online shopping experience that is until the launch of littleblackbag.com on January 30, 2012.

Taking its cue from the popular Japanese concept of the mystery bag sale, or fukubukuro, littleblackbag.com provides an exchange for shoppers looking to define their styles and get some surprises in trade from other members.

Members take a short style quiz to discover their “fashion totem” represented by a distinct handbag. At first I was the “Little Fringe Bag”, until I was prompted to retake my quiz. So I corrected an incorrect answer, and now I am a “Little Quilted Bag”. Similar to a horoscope, this quiz delivers relevant summaries of your fashion sense in style-scopes. After the quiz users are presented with a collection of similar style picks, based upon their quiz results, and asked to select the first item for their shopping bag. Once the first item is selected, the user must commit to a membership option in order to discover the other items they will also receive at substantially reduced retail prices.

The membership model is simple: a monthly membership fee of $49.95 or a one-time purchase of $59.95.  For the skeptical online shopper, no worries! The littleblackbag.com site is consumer friendly… members can cancel at any time.

At last, a site that makes the shopping experience interactive and fun! The littleblackbag.com is truly where e-commerce meets entertainment.
