So we’ve covered the butchery and the kitchen, and now it’s time we covered the shop, but weirdly this one is probably the hardest for me to talk about. I think it’s because it’s an area of the business I’m really passionate about, and I do have a tendency to overthink and get caught up when I love something!
Anyway, as you might have guessed from the images above, and from the most recent pop ups we did on the estate, we are opening a clothing and homeware shop in the space that’s on the far left hand side of the Colchester Square buildings 🛍️
Here we want to create a space where locals and visitors can find outfits that suit the Argyll climate, but which still feel stylish, and where they can buy items to add to their houses to make them feel even more like home. We’ll offer a range of second hand, preloved and new items, with a focus on quality combined with affordability. There’ll be the forever jumpers that you buy once and never need to repurchase, practical items such as jackets and boots, alongside accessories that will update our wardrobes and keep our quality basics feeling fresh. The same goes for the homeware: some new pieces for your kitchen, combined with vintage items that add patina to wherever you put them.
Speaking of vintage, and as you’ve seen from the pop ups, I’m really passionate about combining new and secondhand pieces. I’m a firm believer that this is how many of us dress and style our homes now: buying new for those wardrobe elements we’ll wear again and again, and mixing it up with a one off vintage piece to reflect our personalities. Similarly, I love a layered interior that combines fresh new styles with older, aged pieces.
I’d love to know what you think and whether this approach resonates? Either way it’s be great to hear from you, and if you’d like to join a market research event that I’ll be hosting soon to examine these concepts in more detail, drop me a DM with your details and I’ll add you to the list!
Thanks again for all the lovely support x
