A Candid Conversation about the Future of Fashion in Seattle

Fall fashion is here and I recently had the chance to sit down with Sable Talley of Stylishly Made to go over my Summer Retail Report and talk more about the state of fashion in Seattle. It’s no secret that COVID has been a major catalyst for many of the store closures around town and we haven’t hit the bottom yet. In our chat, Sable and I talk about everything from the spring cancellation of our signature Style Summit to how I’m coping with COVID as a business owner. PLUS, we offer up our best tips for brands on how to survive the holiday season.

Peridot boutique announces store closure

In the midst of the on-going COVID-19 outbreak, Peridot boutique located on Queen Anne has announced that it will permanently cease operations on June 30, 2020. The storefront has been closed to the public since March 17 when Governor Jay Inslee first announced the "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order in Washington. Customers have maintained the ability to shop online during the outbreak via the store's e-commerce site with limited curbside pick-up and will continue to enjoy free shipping on orders over $50 from now until the store closure.

"We have loved being part of the Queen Anne community for all these years. It is with a heavy heart that we announce our closure. We are a small business and the prolonged shutdown has had significant impacts on our business. Due to personal reasons and the escalating costs of running a brick-and-mortar store in Seattle, we have made the difficult decision to close. That being said, we greatly appreciate our customers and their support throughout the years, especially as this news has become public. I am truly touched by everyone's kind words and response to our news," said owner Lindsey Snider.

Peridot has been a staple on Queen Anne since 2004, offering women's apparel, accessories, footwear, and gifts. Online and FaceTime shopping will continue until Tuesday, June 30 and the store will reopen for in-person shopping if Phase 2 begins before the store closure date. The store is also offering curbside pick-up and free delivery within Queen Anne/Magnolia. Use promo code SAVE25 for 25% off your order.
