Fashion Enter Barking boutique – pop up shops and events
Calling all designers who wish to sell end of line stock: At the Fashion Enter boutique in Barking we are advising all designers who are holding onto end of line stock to consider discounts for customers to speed up sales in the current retail climate. This can help provide additional capital for new collections.
Syreeta McQueen Boutique Manager has recently commented:
‘One thing that separates us from the rest is that we are all for change and we are happy to do whatever it takes to support our designers. We currently offer all members discounts for production at our manufacturing units which designers appreciate and utilise however there are some designers who may not have the financial support to overcome this difficult time in retail. Some designers have changed careers due to this when their hearts are in fashion but then can you blame them when they have to live? That’s why we are encouraging designers to continue with their passion and discount end of line stock so we can run markets and include them in our sample sales around london & Essex free of charge!’
Fashion Enter Barking is known for its mobile pop up shops and markets so if you would like to utilise this service please contact syreeta@fashion-enter.com
Stock Audit at the Boutique
Following the closure of the Bath boutique all garments have now been centralised at Barking. The staff are currently running a stock audit and reorganising garments.
