Dear friends,
After three years of owning and operating Slather, I have decided to reinvent the way we do business. On August 31st, Slather’s retail location will close. I’ve decided that moving to an online marketplace via slatherpt.com will better suit my wanderlust. But don’t you worry, Gwen and I will continue our flea market tours of Paris three times a year, and after each tour we will bring our lovely French finds back to you! We will host “pop-up” stores at various locations in Port Townsend (and beyond…?!) throughout the year. Without the overhead of a permanent retail location, we will be able to bring back a wider selection of not only our fabulous lingerie but French clothing, jewelry, and accessories all at even better prices!
This new business structure will allow me the freedom to travel, begin new projects, and have a little more time to myself. It has been immensely rewarding managing a retail store full time, but man, is it a lot of work! I’ve learned more than I ever imagined from this experience. The support I’ve gotten from the community has continued to overwhelm me time and time again.
Keep your eyes peeled for more information regarding our restructuring. If you have unused gift certificates come use them! I love you all and can’t begin to thank you enough for your support over the years!
Stay tuned!
Xo
Sophie
