End of an Era 💔 1981-2026
After 45 incredible years at Francesca shoes ,the time has come for me to retire and say goodbye to my beloved shoe business - my baby. From the very beginning, Francesca has been more than a shop, it has been a dream, a passion, and a part of my life.
Through recessions, Brexit, COVID, and so much more, your support as customers has kept us going, and I will be forever grateful. 🥲
Over the years, I’ve met so many lovely people on Park View and Francesca shoes has truly become a big part of my social life. Closing this chapter is bittersweet. I know Francesca shoes will be missed by all who have shopped here, but I’m thrilled to hand over the building to my daughter Francesca, who will continue her Permanent Cosmetic business and transform it into her own beautiful clinic. 🥰
Now, it’s time for me to relax, enjoy my retirement, and cherish the next chapter of my life. 🎉
To thank all my wonderful customers who have been part of this journey, we’re holding a clearance sale. Francesca Shoes will officially close our doors at the end of March 2026 and we would love to see you before then, so please pop in and say goodbye, and grab some last treasures. 👢👛🧤🧣👜
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of my dream. It has been an incredible journey, and I couldn’t have done it without you. Lots of love Kathleen 🤍🤍🤍
