At the end of April, I held a clearance sale of all Grocery scatter cushion covers. The reason for this was to make more room for a new décor line. Now you may be asking why make more space in an online store?
Well, for the very simple reason I do not want to confuse the consumer. It becomes very frustrating very quickly for an online buyer to browse and browse for what he or she wants or to spend a lot of time online looking for something. Yes, you can type in "scatter cushion", but remember, not everyone is internet savvy. And our product range has grown rapidly, so there's a lot to browse through.
But the main reason was that I wanted change. I love the Grocery range, don't get me wrong, but your home can't be filled with everything groceries, can it now? I wanted to create something that is still quirky and Kaatjie-like, but will fit in more homes.
Anyhoo, long story short. The Grocery cushion range was discontinued for a week, and then people started messaging me, "where are the cushions, I don't see it on your store!" And then I knew, oops, this was a mistake!
The one thing I wanted to avoid by confusing customers, I actually did. Just because I wanted change, does not mean your customer wants one. Keep the unique and original, but add the new!

So, this is where we are. The Grocery scatter cushion range is back, with some new colours. The new décor line is in the making and I am very excited about it (more on this later).
Welcome back, Grocery scatter cushion (and I'm sorry I let you go, even for a short while)!
