❤️Honest Tings Only❤️ Hi guys, Ryan, Natalie & Leanne here (owners of Elsie & Fred). Today we’re having a very very tricky meeting in order to work out how we keep moving forward with the business in the current times. To say the past three years have been hard are an overstatement, but who haven’t they been hard for right? We didn’t have the summer we thought we would or projected for...and that feels SUPER EXPOSING to say out loud. These things have knock on effects through to autumn and winter. To navigate when to ask for help is HAAARDD and we’ve got some blockages going on as ‘working class kids’ we’re working on. I’m not sure what the future holds, but we’re going to EVERYTHING in our power to keep this business going and thriving with the eternal power of George Michael (ours mums fav) overlooking and keeping us safe. The point of the message is just keeping you in the loop and trying to stay transparent as possible. It’s SO hard out here and you have to have faith it too will pass whatever your hardships currently are. We love you all and thank you all dearly for supporting and following us, man. To other small businesses going through the same, we’re sending so much love. And If you can, I implore you to shop with one of your homies or the smaller companies that would really benefit from your support, the big boys don’t need your support. Love ALWAYS, Ryan, Natalie & Leanne x
