    Do you know this vendor?

    Bellydancesupplies Belly dance supplies

    I normally am irritated by unsolicited emails but I was tempted to the site and have to say the costumes look lovely and are very reasonable priced.
    They do remind me of Hannan's work but then I am not sure about who does what work for whom and who distributes in that costume maze that is Egypt. And of course people will copy designs or follow trends ( which ever way you choose to look at it) So anyone bought from them? 'Cos a couple of us love that dress!

    Re: Do you know this vendor?

    I know nothing about the vendor, but the pictures on the home page ARE Hanan's- the pictures look like they've been lifted straight off of Madame Hanan's website (for example: 10 )

    Now, I don't know if the vendor has an affiliation with Madame Hanan and has permission to use the pictures, but it seems unlikely that this vendor would be selling genuine Hanan's for less than Hanan sells them herself. But that's just my first impression- I don't know anything about the vendor you're asking about.

    There are two Egyptian vendors on Ebay that use Hanan's photos; have always wondered how they get away with it.

    LOVE this dress! I would want arm bands or gauntlets to match, though.

    We should try to find out who the real designer is so we can order it from them!

    The problem with vendors who steal photos (for those who are new here) is that they post photos of other people's designs but can't usually REALLY produce something of the quality pictured.

    I made this mistake ONE time. Ordered custom work from an unknown vendor on e-bay based on a gorgeous photo of a costume. (I know, it was 2am and my resistance was weak). What I actually received was that costume's evil ugly Frankensteiny Quasimodo stepsister. It was unsalvageable. I tried for a year to fix it, tried for another year to sell it cheap, finally gave it away to someone who wanted to harvest the beads and sequins.

    Re: Do you know this vendor?

    Hi:
    the costumes are all Hanan´s designs and work,the bra/belt sets pic´s are taken from the Dancing Rahana store.

    The folkloric dresses seem to be their own,as far as I can tell...

    Re: Do you know this vendor?

    not too long ago, I received an email from Hanan saying that her stepsister ran away stealing jewelery and clients' names and numbers from her.....
    I wonder if this website has anything to do with it.....
