Just to let you all know, (and promote the clearance sale 🤣)

I’m selling the shop!
Been in negotiations over the last few months with a good independent retailer that was looking to expand. A few will know them, 80’s Casual Classics. Most of the brands will stay and the staff are secure,the shop won’t change too much. We leave at the end of Feb and 80’s will open 1st March.
Very happy with the deal and after 38 years since I first started The Blue Jean Co it’s time to lower the final denim curtain.
