I wish her well in the future I just hope they are more sustainably minded in future.

Until recently I thought the company was doing well, purely going by the amount of stock they seemed to shift. Then suddenly there were barely any leggings for sale and it was all custom printed hoodies…🤷‍♀️

Sturdy by Design were also struggling at the end of last year. There’s just so much choice now. I hope Flanci don’t deviate too much from what they’re really good at.

They’ve been asked for dresses so they’re trialling them all pre order non returnable. When Nicky was getting some grumblings of 5 week pre order i (& others) said explain it’s a) sustainable b) you’ll order because you really want them not to bin when a new one comes in and c) it’s cost effective. Yes LLL were selling at £10 a pair crazy daft priced sales but the first leggings I had were fab the last ones were rubbish. It was like a jumble sale online. Sad but growth on that level isn’t sustainable you have to be haemorrhaging money
