  Hey, I hope you are all well and looking forward to a sunnier and warmer few months ahead. New season has started to arrived at @The Coterie and the rails have been a riot of colour and patterns, most items are now on line too. You can find new styles from Sarah Tempest and Pathchouli Fair and also some of the new Goose Island collection.  The shop is open Tuesday to Friday 10-4 and Saturday 10-1 and look out for late night opening dates and also some little local evenings at some great small venues.  There are more new...

What can I say except THANK YOU. It has been a great start to the year and a total refresh. It was a hard decision to take to close my representation in Pontardawe after 10 years but it's the right thing to do in these times of difficulty. I am not afraid to say it's been tough and in tough times and bumpy seas it's all about trimming your sails and keeping yourself lean and motoring onwards (see what I did there). Those of us now running The Coterie in Clydach worked our socks off for 2 weeks in January,...

I trust you are all ok out there, to the isolaters, the isolating, the dodgers and the been theres, surely it can't be much longer.

I am looking forward to enjoying a mixed business model and there will be regular meet ups in Pontardawe; these will start to be announced after Christmas. All my retail operation will be moved...

Nearly at the end of the year. I hope you are all well and safe and ready to have a better Christmas than last year. I am looking forward to being with family and taking time to just 'be'. There has been a lot of disruption in the world of retail in the last 19 months and this has obviously been at the forefront of my mind when deciding 'how' to return to a flexible and suitable level of business.
