As part of our 40th year celebrations I thought it would be fun to let you in on a little of what STUFF is all about! Little tit-bits of my year – not a diary per-se, but a few personal observations, perhaps a smidgen of reminiscing (nothing sentimental!) and the gems that make STUFF tick.
Many things have changed along the way, but for me the thrill of it is all enduring. I hope you have enjoyed this journey and I thank you again for your loyalty and friendship throughout the years. Now, read on…
January – Bonne Chance
I know it’s a cliché, but it really does seem like only yesterday that Dave and I opened up STUFF, our first joint retail venture. We really haven’t looked back in what has been a continuous and extremely fun and rewarding whirlwind of buying, selling, making life-long friends and travelling the world – well mainly Europe – to bring together our unique collections.
This weekend is no exception, as I head to Paris to soak up the unique buzz of fashion in its home city, I wonder whether I still have the same spring in my step as I did 40 years ago – particularly with a 3.30 a.m. alarm call!
Over 2 non-stop days I’ll be visiting the largest retail show with exceptional women’s clothing and accessories as well as visiting some of our signature brands – Majestic Filatures, Crea and Lilith. Yes, you’ve guessed it, buying season is here and nothing can stop my undeniable passion which I hope will bring a little autumn/winter magic to 2016…
