The webshop in which Maxime Meiland sells very expensive children’s clothing is not a success. The reality star finds the Dutch quite stingy. “I have the idea that it shouldn’t cost anything in the Netherlands.”
Maxime Meiland has made a pretty false start with her career as a webshop owner. She made all the show media last year when it became clear that she secretly sold junk from AliExpress in her webshop Monciel, but then ten times more expensive. The buyers stayed away en masse and she lost about 50 thousand euros on it.
Expensive children’s clothing
Now Maxime tries it with the children’s clothing webshop Villa Vito, but that is not successful either. All kinds of expensive items are offered, which are completely unaffordable for an average household. This concerns, for example, a pink dress for 204 euros and terribly old-fashioned pieces that are sold for prices between 70 and 150 euros.
Besides the fact that potential buyers will still fear that they are secretly bringing Ali clutter into their home, Maxime after a month of TV assistance is apparently still unaware that these kinds of prices are completely unfeasible for most families. It is not for nothing that many people do not get past Primark and the sale at H&M.
Stingy Dutch
Yet Maxime blames the stingy Dutchman for the flopping of her webshop. “I sell brands from Portugal and Spain, which I like the best, because they are still very classic. I think they spend more money on children’s clothing in those countries than here, I have the idea that it shouldn’t cost anything in the Netherlands,” she complains in the Weekend.
The Dutch simply don’t know what quality is, Maxime snorts. “You can just see from the collar and the embroidery that it is more expensive and a baby is only small for a short time, then you want to dress it up very doll, don’t you?”
‘Not going so well’
A child is only briefly small: that is precisely the reason that Maxime’s very expensive items remain on the rack. But she has no idea about that from her bubble. “To be honest, the sale is not going as I expected. I’m doing my best, I’ve put a whole team on it, but unfortunately.”
Maxime was recently at a market with her children’s clothing. There it was mainly looking, but not buying. “Then they look at the clothes and they say: ‘This is fun, and that’, and that gives me energy again.”
Lovely.
Maxime also sells 49-euro rompers:
