Dear all
We wanted to say a huge thank you for your continued support for S&S. As a small business that has seen growth of 1000% in the past 3 years, it has been hard to keep up with you all (Thanks for this BTW!). The journey has been exhilarating, exhausting but most of all rewarding and your amazing feedback is the thing that keeps us going when days are tough.
In our short life as a business, we have lived through a global pandemic, Brexit, a supply chain crisis, the death of a Monarch, huge fuel increases and a cost of living crisis. As a result, it has been very hard for us to forecast and plan our stock levels, particularly coming out of a pandemic when all anyone wanted was sweats and joggers. Since then, we have seen a massive shift back to our underwear and we are busy responding as quickly as we can. It is our absolute aim as a sustainable, B Corp business, to never make more than is needed. However, the numbers have been very hard to predict this year and we have needed to clear some of our excess stock which is the reason for our current mid-season sale.
Thank you all again and please bear with us as we navigate these crazy days we’re all living in. Keep spreading the word - the number one way new people discover S&S is by you all telling your friends. As always, we love to hear from you so do email us anytime katie@stripeandstare.com to tell us what you like, what you don’t like (always very important!) and what you want to see next.
With love and thanks again for all of your support.
Katie and Nicola
