One of the questions we get asked more than any other is ‘where did your London store go?’ or ‘why did you close it?’ I thought it might be good to explain the thinking behind that particular pop up adventure as we are on the verge of taking the mighty brave step of opening a permanent store in the city in the Spring of 2020! As a small independent company but with a lot of customers and trade clients in and around London, I have always been itching to open a store there. Once I started looking for a site though I was fairly shocked to say the least by the extortionate rents being charged in our favoured areas. Anyone who knows me will agree I’m a bit of a gambler and never fear taking the riskier decisions but even for me this step seemed too big, so the idea of a temporary pop up shop was suddenly very appealing.
