Moonbasa and ITA to Bring U.S. Fashion Brands to China

Partnership Provides New e-Platforms for Brands Interested in Selling to China

Los Angeles, CA, 2016-Aug-09 — /REAL TIME PRESS RELEASE/ — The International Trade Administration (ITA) has partnered with Moonbasa, a large China-based e-commerce company, to support a digital platform dedicated to U.S. brands interested in selling to the Chinese market. This will provide U.S. companies with an opportunity to open a web store on Moonbasa’s e-commerce platform, and also give them an opportunity to participate in a three-day online-to-off-line (o-to-o) experience at Moonbasa’s flagship digital store in Shanghai.

According to Kim-Bang Nguyen, Director, Export Promotion and Strategic Business Alliances for the Office of Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) at ITA, “China is a difficult market to penetrate, especially for small- and medium-size businesses. We believe Moonbasa, an e-commerce platform with a dedicated ‘U.S. Brand Mall’ and full-service commerce solutions, is an effective way for these businesses to create a new channel of distribution in China.”

Moonbasa is a China-based fashion-only e-commerce platform with an all-inclusive turnkey service. It launched a ‘U.S. Brand Mall’ last year supporting more than 25 small-to medium-sized U.S. brands. Such brands currently on the platform include Ocean Current, Taylor and Sage, Janet Chung, Band of Gypsies, and Halo. An o-to-o operation, Moonbasa is slated to open 15 more brand stores this year.

Moonbasa will be exhibiting at WWDMAGIC in the Las Vegas Convention Center August 15-17 in booth 73500 Central Hall, and welcomes U.S. fashion brands to learn about this opportunity. Brands can also contact Barbara Graff, bgraff@moonbasausa.com or Kim-Bang Nguyen, kim-bang.nguyen@trade.gov
for additional information.

Enjoy California Wine Month at Carmel’s only wine-themed hotel

The rich history and spectacular scenery of California’s wine country will be celebrated throughout the month of September — California Wine Month — with special packages and promotions at Carmel’s only wine-themed hotel.

Carmel, CA, August 09, 2016 – The rich history and spectacular scenery of California’s wine country will be celebrated throughout the month of September — California Wine Month — with special packages and promotions at Carmel’s only wine-themed hotel.

Vendange Carmel Inn and Suites has partnered with 15 Carmel Valley wineries to create a unique guest experience, celebrating the bounty of Monterey County’s vineyards.

Each winery sponsors one room or suite, providing its own creative touches to the famous charm of Vendange, a bed and breakfast nestled just minutes from one of the world’s most-spectacular beaches.

From the McIntyre Vineyards room, with its impressive, 100-year-old section of grapevine, to J. Lohr’s wine barrel on the balcony, every winery’s room at Vendange offers a signature luxury experience.

Participating wineries — each of which are only a short, scenic drive from the hotel, include Blair, Cima Collina, Dawn’s Dream, Galante, Holman Ranch,  J. Lohr, Joullian, Manzoni, McIntyre, Otter Cove, Tudor, Twisted Roots and Ventana.

The rooms at Vendange feature sleek, modern bathrooms, with imported Spanish marble. Sleeping areas have memory foam-top beds, deluxe linens, and high-definition flat screen televisions.

The separate Cottage Suite — perfect for a honeymoon or romantic getaway — offers 650 square feet of space, with a California King bed, a 50-inch, high-definition television, and kitchenette.

Located at 24815 Carpenter Street, Vendange is only a short walk from the charms and delights of Carmel, which are not easily experienced in a single day  . Book a second night, Monday through Thursday, for an additional $35, and receive a $50 gift certificate to Carmel’s popular seafood restaurant, <a href=’https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/flahertysseafood?source=feed_text&story_id=883032428430784′>#FlahertysSeafood</a> Grill & Oyster Bar, or <a href=’https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/andresbouchee?source=feed_text&story_id=883032428430784′>#AndresBouchee</a>, the chic French bistro with a <a href=’https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/california?source=feed_text&story_id=883032428430784′>#California</a> coastal flair. (This special California Wine Month offer, valid through September 30th, can only be booked through our website at <a href=’http://vendangecarmel.com/’>vendangecarmel.com</a> while supplies last.)
