Web Watch: Virtual markets and gift stores

1. ACHICA: You have to register for this site, but it’s very quick and worth it to coo over the high-end brands with up to 70% off.

From the brain of Quentin Griffiths, the guy who co-founded Asos.com, the members-only luxury lifestyle store is a clever idea. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, an online sale begins across a huge range of categories and designers. I like how they tell you the RRP too.
