A.Ka Shop: Safe, Eco-friendly, Comfortable and Stylish Baby Clothes

One of my happy places is the world wide web and one of the reasons why is online retail therapy! Raise your hands if you're like me! Well, fellow shopaholic mommas, there's a new online shop in the block, A.Ka Shop!

"A.Ka was derived from the first letters of the names Abigail and Kaydence (the two little girls of the founders). A.Ka started as an online store, with an ambition to provide baby products that are safe, eco-friendly, comfortable yet stylish. We believe that it is every parent’s wish to provide only the best for their children and A.Ka’s carefully selected top-of-the-line brands is the answer to all the modern parents today."

They are the exclusive distributor of U.S. brand Kate Quinn Organics, Taiwan brands LS-kids and Roi Roi Junior in the Philippines.

Kate Quinn Organics is one of the best organic  baby clothes in the US. They only use certified organic cotton grown using sustainable farming practices.

If you want one of best organic baby essential, then Kate Quinn Organics is for you!

Roi Roi Junior got its name from a French origin “roi”, which means kingship and royalty, with a belief that each child are princes and princesses in the eyes of their parents. 

Look how fun the prints and patterns are! Love the one we got!

LS Kids is a Taiwan brand that manufactures organic cotton  children's clothing and makes handmade shoes

I want these shoes for R! I hope it comes in his size!

A.Ka Shop sent two super cute onesies for my little R. I super duper love the prints! It's fun, cute , youngs and best of all it's organic!

I asked my little boy to model for me when he wore the onesies. He's really very makulit but I was so happy he obliged when I asked!

The boy who rarely stays still flashed me a smile! Yaya also loved the onesies because it made him looked like a baby again! Hehe!

"Ok na ba, mama?"

Asked him to pose again and he took the iPad and started taking photos of me naman!

Love the koi print!  And I love the button snaps! Fabric is soft and safe on baby's skin. 

And if you have a girl, they also have dresses! They also have receiving blankets and gift sets which is perfect if you are looking for baby shower gifts!

My Zalora Shopping Experience

It's been 2 months since I won the 'My Zalora Wishlist' contest, got my prize (4 sets of vouchers) and I've redeemed two all of them already. I drafted this post 2 weeks after ordering but I've decided to wait until I've used up all of my vouchers.

What can I say? I love shopping at Zalora! I've been checking their site everyday since I got my vouchers, looking for things I fancy and putting them in my wish list (which is still buggy at times). They have new arrivals every week which makes it hard for me to pick what I want to buy!

I've shopped online many times, from multiply sites to facebook to many other online stores but I think Zalora is the first online shopping site in the Philippines that has a good working system. IMO ha.. I haven't heard a bad comment about them yet, or I could be wrong.

Manong Zalora!

Ok, let's break it down, shall we? (Disclaimer: I'm a programmer/analyst by profession but I haven't handled anything web-based nor have I done QA on web-based systems so this is just an honest observation.)

On the technical side, it's still buggy. Here's what I noticed:

- Not everything is listed on their "Brands" list. 

- I can't view my wish list (last month). Wish list is still needs fixing.

- Shopping cart items can's be saved, it would nice not to put everything all over again in my cart everytime I login.

- Not all new arrivals are shown in the "New Arrivals" section

- It's not easy to browse the items, sometimes what is shown in page 1 is shown again in another page.

- It would be nice to have a more detailed description of the items (e.g. washing instruction, material used, etc.).

- Items to be returned sometimes takes time for them to pick up.

Onesie and cloth diaper for R! Shopping for the little one at Zalora!

What I like? It's a one-stop shop! For moms like me and for someone who almost doesn't have the time to go to malls and shop or buy what I need, an online shop like Zalora is heaven-sent! 

Here's what I like naman about Zalora:

- FREE shipping nationwide!!!

- They call to confirm your orders

- I like their COD payment option! No need for me to go to the bank. Tamad ako maglakad. Haha!

- Delivery is fast (just 1 day, my friend got his order within the day, cool diba?!). Provincial orders takes 2 days I think.

- Variety of brands

- Items can be returned within 30 days! and return slip is already included in the package

- I love the packaging! (It used to be in a box, now it comes with a paper bag seen above)

And here are some of the things I bought!

Matroyshka Measuring Spoon

Going green, going glass! Lifefactory Glass Bottle.

I really had the time of life shopping for these things! So I want to thank Zalora and Nuffnang for the contest and picking me as one of the winner! It's the biggest prize I've won!!! EVER!!! I really think I was a lucky buntis. I gave birth four days after learning I won. Haha! I'll definitely buy again at Zalora!
