It’s been 2 weeks (more or less) since we opened the curtains and invited a few select people… followed by loads more friends, family, strangers, and teachers! (It got out of hand to be honest)

Gucci's heritage line
During the 50’s, Gucci found equestrian inspiration with it’s trademark green-red-green stripe, derived from a traditional saddle girth. It instantly became recognisable as a hallmark of the brand.
The line has now been named ‘forever now’, and is a special line exclusively for this heritage ethos, and of course, the unmistakable stripe.

Retail giant Primark rumoured to sell online
Is this a good move for them?
I believe so, I believe it will have many benefits especially for customers that don’t live near a store or find the experience of shopping in store a nightmare (like so many of us).
Primark will have a variety of product sectors to show online which may be a downfall and make it harder to find a desired product. They will also need to sell high numbers of...
