June 2009.
I know many of you had actively doing it way earlier than that.
I was having quite a lot of doubt. Banyak betul "what if" dalam kepala.
The rule is, I 'd to make the payment first before got to see the shawl.
What if the owner of the online shop cheated my money? (ini yang paling takot).
Moreover, I could only view the color and pattern from the image they uploaded in the web.
What if the color became totally different when i received it?
What if the material is very low in quality?
What if they send me wrong items?
So, what i did was, i filtered every online shop i bumped on net, I checked their all the reviews and testimonials from the customers. Paling bestkan, bila i found friends or relatives who had experienced dealing with the boutique, they fully satisfied with the services and item received.

Kenapa pilih beli online.? Pemalaskah?
Eh, Butan Butan (the way Oman pronounces "bukan").
The main reasons are time and flexibility.
Kalau dulu, rasa nak beli shawl baru, terus roger Encik Armi. Dia ON aje.
I pergi cari shawl, dia pergi kedai camera. :P
Nak belek sampai tengah malam pun x pe. hihi.
When i become a mom, part of my flexibility to go for quality shopping has gone. Oman was a little baby and of course he needed a lot of attention from me. Pulak tu Oman bukan jenis baby yang dok diam je tau dalam stroller. Bersilat la i dengan Armi kalau outing tu kang.
I found it bit uneasy.
I found it bit uneasy.
Makanya sejak itulah, i berjinak-jinak dalam bidang membeli shawl online. Now, bila dah biasa, Oman pun dah easier to handle than before, i still sometimes opt for buying it online. Rambang mata! :P
I was so fortunate that my first trial was really really great and the services was super tip-top. The owner owh she's kind-hearted yet pretty girl. I still remember when i received the nice packaging, inside it there my shawls smelled sangat-sangat wangi. You letak perfume apa, Hani? hihi.
The first 2 pcs of shawls from online boutique. TQ AHC. Puas hati tau! =D
Nowadays, online boutique for Muslimah has tremendously grown up in parallel with people trust to this business field. With a click, you can easily get different styles, pattern, colors and material of shawls. Macam pisang panas!
If 7 years ago, i was among the alien of being the minority group that wear shawl for my daily outfit, now, i could see gorgeous hijabis all around me! Xsalah berfesyen tudung asalkan menepati nilai tuntutan agama kita. Insya Allah. Bring it up, dearies! :)

cantiiiikkkknyaaaa shawl!!!!!!!!! sesuai dgn orangnya.... tp, AHC memang best... sebab tu selalu je sold out...
ReplyDeleteFidza, x silap Nuurill Fidza pun ada kan beli shawl ni? Rasa macam pernah nampak la Fidza pakai. And.. Sila validate.. mmg harumkan? :)
ReplyDeleteI dah lama tak beli shawl, tapi baru beli 2 helai inner neck dari AHC jugak. Mesti mata I gatal sebab perfume yang AHC bubuh kat inner neck tu. Last time I beli instant hijab dia, gatal-gatal mata I tau! Allergic ke apa.
ReplyDeletememang cantik lah..pastu selalu sold outt taauuu
ReplyDeleteCANTIKK..Nurill pakai apa pon cantik...ekeke..Cepat..belanja I. Dah puji melambung2 ni.
ReplyDeleteOpps..I dah stop pakai shawl tapi tukar tu pashmina...KAta En Honey I menawan pakai pashmina..kehkehkeh..nak tunggu Nurill puji I...lambat sgt...ekeke.
Sue:
ReplyDeleteInner AHC pun mmg best!! I suka bau harum kat inner tu. Pakai few days pun x hilang tau. Tapi penyakit gatal2 you tu, xtaula pulak i. Hhahaha. Dah sampai mata tu kenapa? =D
Zura:
Aah memang selalu sgt sold out. Kene hari2 bukak nampaknya :)
Wawa:
ReplyDeleteU ni saja nak bagi i kembang lagi, kan? :P
EH you, u pakai pashmina ke, shawl ke.. semua lawa tau. I dah lama puji dalam hati sebab takut you mengembang. Kah kah. Xpe-xpe. hari ni i puji depan2. Memang hot okeh!! Xsangka u dah ade anak dara tau!! :)
Nuurill, kalau u refer ur friends n relative about the boutique..
ReplyDeletemyself suka refer Pn Nuurill kalau nak cr boutique best beli tudong...hehehehe ;)
n so far mmg satisfied!
owh yes!!after many times trying,finally I dpt jgak 1 tudong dr AHC..sgt wangieee!!cium bnyk2 kali hehehe ;)
tp shawls masih tak dpt!
u know, what..I pernah pike nak mintak u tlg order dgn Hani tau..mane tau,u selalu beli ngan dia, ada sepcially network..senang dpt..weee;)
p/s..babe u mmg terletak je pakai shawl!! (dah beribu2 lemon I puji tau!!!)
Emh...babe..I mmg dah mengembang skrg. Start form today ambik challenge 2 wks kellog's ke apa tu...saje nak laaaagggiii hot...ekeke.
ReplyDeleteDear, I pun mcm u jugak mula2 dulu agak skeptical nk order online sbb risau the colors and the quality. Tp bila start pantang n tak dpt nak menyopping2, startlah beronline shopping..hihi.
ReplyDeleteI remembered those days, susah betul nak cari long scarves (shawls) nak buat collection. Kalau ade pun bnyk yg type pashmina which is too thick n hot or yg ade rambu2 kat hujung. I dislike! Last2 I beli je kat kedai jual tie + scarves; scarf yg slalu diaorg slalu pakai ikat kat neck tu yg I guna. Hehe..tp some jarang la pulak :P. Now kat mana2 dh ade kan? Mcm2 fesyen plak tu :)
I started actively buying shawls online nih since a few months ago, now kinda addicted to it.. hehe.. but since I'm so far away from Malaysia, the cost for shipping was quite expensive so x bole active sgt kikiki... but definitely bile balik m'sia nnt, I think I'll continue buying shawls online je kot.. so far semua yg sampai kat akak, semua akak puas hati :)
ReplyDeletekak nurill mmg cantek,sebab tu i noticed u kat uia dulu.hahaha,tp i bukan stalked u okay. :p
ReplyDeleteehem,kak nurill,kalau sudi singgahlah my BBB (Beli Belah Belog).Kalau suka handbags n other stuff from UK beli through my shopping blog eh.

Nadia:
ReplyDeleteU memang suka puji banyak-banyak taww! Thank you so much, dear. Aww!
:)
nanti kalau ade tempat best lagi i'll let u know k. hik hik.
If you believe me, i never met Hani in person. We get close to each other on the net. Pulak tu kebetulan, Amrina, another friend of mine pun kenal Hani. Jadila makin mesra gitew kami. :)
Tapi i akui, mmg product from AHC sangat-sangat cepat habis. Tu pun Hani dah sedaya upaya produced banyak pilihan. I suggest u put AHC in your google reader. So, tiap kali ada update you gonna see there. U can be among the first!! =D
Take care Nadia.
Wawa:
ReplyDeleteI pernah tri Kellogs tu tau. 2 hari je tahan. wakakaka.
Nadine:
Owh! I pun xsuka yg ada bulu2 kat tepi tu taw!! Tapi mmg dulu susah nak jumpa. So i beli jer and sanggup buang one by one the bulu. hihihi.
Untung you orang kecik boleh pakai yg scarf ikat kat neck tu taw! I suka jugak tgk sebab desin dia cantik jugak, tapi, selalu i rasa pendek. mcm tergantung. ahaha. :)
Oh by the way, how are you, darling? How's yesterday?
K.Nana:
ReplyDeleteRoughly how much ek for delivery? Bila nak balik sini? :) hihi. Mesti borong sakan nanti nih!
Ninie:
Ahahaha. Cutela tau awak nih! Teringat zaman UIA. Zaman pakai tudung bawal. Ngeeeee :)
Akak dah singgah blogshop awak tu!!! Menarik! Nanti kalau mau angkat apa-apa akak bagi tauk :)
Cik Kakak, entri seterusnya wajiblah tips dan tutorial memakai shawl agar kemas dan cantik seperti kamu..
ReplyDeleteWAJIB ok?!! =)
babeeee i soooo toadily agree with uuuu! at first i was skeptical about online purchase too! i can still rmbr, my very first online purchase was a hijab too! mine was from SugarScarf, however. naseb baik the quality is just as good. and lepastu i started buying a few more from her. :) tapi kan u, eventho dah byk kali beli online kan, rasa takut and was-was tu still ada lah. especially bab color and quality. and some online boutique ni derang pandai Photoshop, so kadang2 tertipu juge. haihs. but yeah, thats what u have to risk lah kalau nak beli online kan. another thing is, mcm u ckp, mcm mana kalau dah byr, tp brg tak sampai? happens jugak! sbb itu i will always make sure i keep the Proof of Purchase once the transaction is successful for my own copy, in case i need to use it in the future :P
ReplyDeleteps : u are one of my idols when it comes to ladies in shawl tauuuu! :) :)
pps : i pon plan to make an entry on hijab soon, it's already in draft! wait for it! :D
ppps : i agree, i tgk girls lately terlalu taksub nak berstylo-stylo in hijab, sampai lupa the basic things abt menutup aurat, it's sad.
rasanya shawl yg u pakai ni antara keluaran terawal AHC, kan? tp mmg best la the inner, i love it to the max! i try beli jgk inner dr blogshop lain, tp kat AHC jgk best; salah satu sbb bau dia wangi :)..mmg susah sikit nak dpt, tp once Hani announce nk update, cepat2 check, hehe..
ReplyDeletekak nuril..kak nuril rekemen la kat ne nk bli shawl/blouse cantek2..k.nuril pkai apa pun cantik taw..

ReplyDeletenuril2, ape kate, nuril bukak kedai jual shawl... sbb shawl nuril sume lawa2.. beli la lebih 2 ke 3 ke, sng kitorg nk beli.. nuril kan role model kitorg.. hihihi

Abby C:
Yes dear. Yang i pakai ni mmg product awal2 AHC dulu. :) Now, Hani belum reproduce this shawl lagi. Glad i did grab them awal2 dulu. hihi. Memang waaaaaangi kalau beli dari AHC. Til now dah basuh pun still bau wangi lagi. I loike!! :)
Asyikin:
ReplyDeleteAkak beli dekat merata-rata tempat dear. Antaranya, kalau online: AHC and Radiusite. Dua2 ni mmg pisang panas. Kalau beli dekat boutique, dekat Ampang Park ade satu, The Silk Story nama kedai tu. dekat OU pun ada, Wrapz namanya. Kalau dekat Midvalley, La mumbai. Tapi paling akak banyak beli is dekat Penang. Ade satu Silk Boutique ni very close to Line Clear tempat makan tu. Design2 dia jarang jumpa. :)
Zura:
ReplyDeleteAmin! :) Nuurill mmg ade cita2 nak venture fashion line sendiri. Tapi xtau lagi either tudung ker, busana pengantin ke.. (amboi!! tingginya cita-cita!!) hik hik. :)
Ala Zura ni.. Zura pakai pun cantik tau!! Nuurill rasa masa mula-mula pakai jer kita akan rasa pelik bin ajaib. rasa bulat jer muka. Dah lama-lama.. dah expert dah. Kan Kan. hihi :)
