Goodbye to Mary
It is with deep regret that we announce that Mary Lortges lost her battle with cancer last Thursday. Our condolonces are with her family at this very sad time.
‘I worked with Mary for over a year and, like many other colleagues, Mary was far more than an employee. I valued her friendship and support immensely and she was one feisty woman! I felt shattered when Mary lost her battle with cancer and I still feel raw. Mary leaves behind a wonderful close family who I have also become closer with over the last few months. Our condolences to her family. Mary your legacy will live on at the Factory, we all miss you’ Jenny Holloway, Director.
Boutique Pick of the Week
This weeks pick of the week is perfect if you’re planning a night out. It is the wonderful Neoprene Cream dress by Maisy James. This chic dress comes just above the knee and is effortlessly cool, it is tight around the top and then floats down beautifully. The off the shoulder piece, has studs around the bottom and would be ideal paired with some doc Martens or Super high heels.
Don’t miss out, go and get yours now, from the FCB boutique.

Until next time, have a great week All the team at Fashion Capital x
