Shandon Graybeal made this announcement tonight:
A year and a half ago, I was welcoming (Coastal) as our new neighbor at Alair. I was so excited to have those smiling girls next door, and have another place on our block for y’all to shop.
Recently, I got a call from our amazing landlord that our neighbors at Coastal made the difficult decision to close their doors permanently. We know that making this decision probably wasn’t easy and we are sad for them and wish them the very best with the new dreams they will start building now. You can follow along with them as they make any announcements and let you know what’s next for their brand.
Your mom spent 18+ years washing your laundry, flipping your pancakes, listening to your endless complaints, and singing your praisesâin other words, showing up. This Mother s Day, make sure you do, too, in the form of a gift more unique than french toast and a candle set.
To find the best ideas, we went straight to the source, asking the folks behind some of our favorite local boutiques what they would buy for the mothers in their lives. And if your mother is estranged, gone, or otherwise leaving you with mixed emotions on this day, know you re not alone. As it turns out, these items make pretty great self-care gifts as well.
Shandon Graybeal sends word that “we are launching subscription boxes – this is a project thatâs been two years in the making to get the boxes right, figure out how to keep it organized and personalized, and have it make sense with shipping and all the other costs. Iâm so proud with the end result, even if it took way longer than we expected. Thereâs 3 different themes as of today, but Iâm sure weâll add more as we learn. And people can choose monthly or quarterly to receive with an easy cancellation whenever they are ready. We wanted to get them out in time for Motherâs Day, and I think they make the perfect gift (of course I do). Thereâs also a one-time option – no need to sign up for anything long term.” You can check out the options online here.
