Hi There!
How has it been two weeks since we last checked in already? Thank you to everyone for their positive response to our last email.
It's been a busy fortnight. We spent four days up in Scotland absorbing everything that the wild landscape had to offer, visiting retailers, and we loved every single second of it - it truly is a place where I find inspiration. Coral had never visited the Highlands or Edinburgh, so it was a new experience for her.
Of course, we returned to navigating all the Black Friday madness - I find it a complex time in retail. Offering huge discounts isn't viable for most retailers, and it's become almost expected at this time of year, with 5-10% discounts not enough for some. What are your feelings on the Black Friday/Cyber Monday phenomenon?
We've also spent this week putting together our new brochures - brochures? Yes - we're splitting the cards and product this coming SS as a trial. The new shows are creeping up on us fast this year, but we're in full swing of finalising samples for everything launching in SS24 that we're so excited to show you.
Are you heading to any shows in the new year? Which ones do you find best?
Speak soon,
Meg
