Amazon launches handbag and shoe website
Cash-strapped husbands beware

Ferdinand Marcos can be thankful he's dead, because Amazon yesterday announced it has launched a dedicated shoe and handbag website in the US "to tap into the growing footwear and accessories market".
According to Reuters, Endless.com (http://www.endless.com/) will offer over 250 brands for women and, we hasten to add, men. These include Donald J Pliner, Enzo Angiolini, Reebok and Columbia Sportswear.
Mercifully for those chaps whose other halves have a penchant for footwear, the site does not yet offer Jimmy Choo products such as the Heba Silk Satin Shoe (http://www.jimmychoo.com/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=50578&fromPage=collection) which goes out at a modest 395 quid.
Amazon's new e-commerce tentacle is offering free overnight delivery and return delivery if you really must have that Perlina Wild Pedigree Frame Handbag (http://www.endless.com/dp/B000J01FLO/ref=sr_1-2/?&colors=&size=20&dept=241747011&node=241747011&nodes=241747011&brands=&keywords=&sort=relevancerank&onsale=0&newarrivals=0&userID=123456&fromPage=search) right now at a bargain $275. ®
