I've just seen on Instagram that the owner of Donald Stanley is throwing in the towel and closing the business down. Not surprising given the recent issues she spoke about. The other day I was seriously tempted to buy a turban from her, she was selling them on her stories and they weren't bad for £15 - especially when you think what she charges for her sacks, sorry dresses. But then I remembered the gifting of expensive items to the likes of Jess and Poppy, and also the Pop Up Shop you had to pay to enter, and I just couldn't do it. She has blamed the pandemic and the fact that it is difficult to maintain a sustainable business. And also that once the offers she recently had on to 'save the business' were done, they weren't getting any orders. I am sorry for her and her staff but I am aware of other businesses which sell sustainable, hand made clothing and they are thriving. However they don't alienate paying customers by giving away freebies to those who can easily afford the prices. I think it's safe to say neither Jess or Poppy ever actually bought anything from her.
