Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all of our wonderful customers! Thank you so much for your custom, your friendship and your continuing loyalty through what has been a challenging year for us at times, it means everything to have you as part of the Junior Edition family!
We hope that like us you have enjoyed fabulous festive season, after the super hectic (but fun!) run-up to Christmas at the shop we had several blissful days off, at home surrounded by family with all our usual Christmas traditions and presents including Star Wars lego for Nathan - this year's Boxing Day Build was the AT-AT!
And so we return, excited to embrace 2020 and all the adventures it will bring. Believe it or not the online business turns five this year, FIVE!!!! Honestly, we can hardly believe it and thinking back to how the business was back in 2015, run from a spare room at home around a full time job, it's amazing to think how much has changed and how far we have come. Watch out for some exciting celebrations and discounts around our birthday time.
With the warehouse now really taking shape, we have been busy interviewing and hope to appoint an e-commerce and warehouse manager in the next couple of weeks. We are excited to be able to offer the online service we always intended in 2020 with a dedicated team managing orders and enquiries and the ability to help with measurements, print placement queries and anything else you might want to know! If you think this might be you, or you know someone that might be the perfect fit do let us know, the position is based just along the coast from our Brighton store in the harbour town of Newhaven.
We are PUMPED about the SS20 collections which kick off in the next couple of weeks, it looks set to be a really exciting season with lots of incredible pieces that we can't wait to show you.
We are also thrilled to announce that we will be welcoming a host of new brands to the Junior Edition family in 2020 including The New Society, Long Live The Queen, Caramel, Nellie Quats and Omibia as well as expanding our footwear lines with Pepe, Menorquines, Donsje and Saltwater joining Veja, Angulus, Hummel and Novesta.
Some exciting invitations have started landing with us in the last couple of weeks as buying season commences, including an invitation to the Fall/Winter 2020 presentation from The Animals Observatory in Paris at the end of the month. Excited? Much!?!
I just love the start of a new year, it's always filled with so much hope and enthusiasm for positive change. Here's hoping 2020 is kind to each and everyone of you, and a little bit fabulous too. Happy New Year!
