Is Joanie clothing shutting down?

Just wondering if anyone had seen anything about Joanie closing down? The website is no longer accepting orders and comments have been disabled on their social media. Very odd!

I am in a very slow exchange of messages with my bank to see if I can recover the money via chargeback on the credit card. I'll let you know the outcome!

Not tried Joanie as they were just too expensive for me, but loved their designs.

But so many of the more retro style companies have gone recently. I'm not a fan of Collectif now they've been resurrected.
I seem to stick more to Carolina Dress Room now.

As for Snags, I have bought from them for years but their quality is falling. I was put off after their Black Friday fiasco and my order took a month to reach me. Got tempted back a few weeks ago. But been put off again after an order of my mum's is taking ages to be dispatched again.

Snag has also asked for people to buy and did another huge sale with everything 30% off not a long while ago, I presume to help them keep afloat.

I think Snag lost a lot of good will when it started going down the "kink" road with it's advertising, not to mention they seem to have forgotten that 99% of their market are women. And I'd guess the majority of those women just want sensible tights that dont fall down, not tights with a Care Bears head stretched over your knee.

It's never nice for the staff when companies fail though.

Such a shame but too costly to operate any longer. I didn't think the particularly expensive.

Joanie has sold all stock to Original Factory Shop, which is also slated to close. I’d get down to your local branch sharpish if you are a fan.
