Some of my lovely fellow traders need our help, after being stolen from earlier in the week. Nobody likes that we have to make these posts but as small independent businesses every stolen item amounts to food not on our tables, a little less money towards bills, etc. We all know money is tight, we really do, but stealing from hard working people who are also just trying to make a living is not the way.

If you think you know these people, please message Red Brick Market as this just isn't on and the vendors deserve to be paid for the stolen goods. Nobody wants this to go any further than it has to.

Hello all! We are aware that we haven't posted for a while, this has been a combination of Ron's scheduled posts not posting as scheduled (doh!), and also a bout of illness at Kitsune & Coal HQ, but we are back, and are looking to make a few changes.

We received some feedback that the middle rail in our shop was making access more difficult for our lovely customers who may use a wheelchair or other mobility aid, or were visiting with a pram. We have now removed this to improve access to our unit. 🥰

Kitsune & Coal is a proudly Disabled Owned Business and Ron is passionate about access to wonderful things for EVERYONE!

We are fully aware that it has been a while since we have restocked our Red Brick Market unit, but that does not mean we have not been busy, or that we are not always on the lookout for new goods for you! We will be back in February, hopefully with lots of fantastic new items for your perusal and hopefully enjoyment!

Today we are presenting this beautiful front-tie wool jacket. This is a style that has been popular for work-wear and house coats alike for generations, blending comfort and style. It features a pocket, and distinctive rounded genroku sleeves rather than the trailing sleeves of a kimono, as well as a vibrant pattern of flowers. It calls to mind not only traditional Japanese patterns, but also the designs of the likes of William Morris.

The lady I sourced this from informed me that this was worn by a family member while travelling during the Taishō (1912-1926) and early Shōwa eras (1926-1989 so this is a pre-war piece in absolutely stunning condition, and still very versatile and wearable.
