Hello to all our wonderful followers, friends and Fortythree family π₯Ή
It is with a broken heart that we have some news to share with you.
Fortythree Boutique, our baby, will be closing down permanently. This has been the hardest decision we have EVER had to make and my heart aches with sadness. However the current climate has unfortunately made our decision for us.
We really cannot believe how things have changed so quickly, we were in early 2020 (late 2019) planning and executing a large expansion.
Then, Covid.
Covid pulled the rug out from under our feet, which we just about scrapped through with the help of all of you (we will always be eternally grateful for π₯Ή) but now, The constant rising costs, which I am sure you have also felt, seem to be spiralling and our energy bills are something to be desired, to put it politely.
This β¬οΈ and a mixture of personal reasons; health, family and new perspectives (Which we wonβt bore you with) has all been a catalyst for what has been one of the hardest years of our lives. This is why we have had to make this horrible decision.
HOWEVERβ¦. I want to stress this is not happening immediately, but the ball is unfortunately in play.
WE WILL BE OPEN AS NORMAL FOR NOW WITH MORE INFORMATION TO FOLLOW.
We want to thank each and every one of you for all yourβ support and friendship over the 9 β¦. Yes 9 YEARS we have had here. It has been the privilege of a life time to be accepted in to such a beautiful and kind community and we are so sorry it has come to this, from the absolute bottom of our hearts.
With all that said I am now a hot mess and all I can say is keep an eye out on here for more updates and information , but we are currently STILL OPEN AS USUAL.
All our love from the the whole team
Your Fortythree family xoxo π’
P.s. WE WILL GO OUT WITH A BANG! we will be doing lots of little bits and bobs to give you the chance to say goodbye ( if you want to that is) so keep your eyes peeled π
