Autumn is clearly just round the corner, and since it's my favourite time of year, I'm super-motivated to get the shop looking at its shiny best for the new season, which means lots of new stock and a good old refresh. As promised, the clothing department will increase in size again, and for the first time, I hope to be able to offer trying-on facilties. Roll-out of the new autumn/winter clothing will take place in two phases:
🧡Thursday 10th September will see the launch of a limited collection of some lovely pieces. That date is just ahead of the ever-lovely and popular , so if you want first dibs before the busy Arts & Architecture Trail weekend, do pop in next Thursday or Friday;
🧡then the full launch of autumn/winter stock will take place from Thursday 17th September. Lots of hand-picked knits, denim, Barbour jackets and more all on the way...
Please note the shop will be closed on Wednesday 9th and Wednesday 16th September to allow for remerchandising.
Other plans for the autumn season include an enlarged section of fantasy, sci-fi and horror books and more prominent "new in" sections across all the physical media formats, making it easier for regulars to go straight to the latest stock.
And indeed there's lots of physical media arriving this weekend, in time for Artisan Market on Saturday, which I'll do a separate post about on Friday.
Phew, Autumn! We love you, and you sure keep us busy! 🧡😊🧡
