Sad to see the Orla Kiely shop all closed up yesterday after the news that she’s gone into voluntary administration earlier this week. I loved that place, the interior detailing and decor was always a pleasure to see, not to mention the objects they sold. Her retrospective at the Fashion & Textile Museum ends this weekend if you missed it. A true design icon, I hope she bounces back soon. Her home ware and licensed products will still be available in the bigger shops and her design practice remains but not the three shops or online store. It seems the decline of the pound and Brexit fears were part of the reason for the decision, how many more will we see close come this time next year?
