Hello again my friendly
friends,
2012 gently comes to an
end and it’s been a groovy year for Proud
to be African Clothing.
Those of us in London
have seen the Jubilee, the Olympics, music, sports and arts festivals.
We’ve had great
performances, talks, presentations, concerts and so on, way too many to
mention. Made new friends, reunited with old ones and generally had fun.
We’ve met engineers,
bankers, musicians, artists, dancers, film makers, politicians and actors.
Stood in the cold and the warmth, the sun and the rain, sold out, run out of
stock, increased stock, seen bestsellers slow down and new lines speed up.
It’s been a good year
for Proud to be African Clothing and we’re exceptionally grateful to all of you
who have supported, bought, followed and generally just been there with us.
As an additional thank
you we’re going to do our own January Sales and knock 15% off the price of
online purchases until 14th January 2013 with the voucher code 2013NY15.
So thanks again, happy
New Year to you and yours and see you all in the New Year for more wonderful
wonderfulness!!
Monday 31st December- New Years Eve
Official Day to go to
work and stare pointedly at the clock until your boss admits its a losing
battle and sends you home. Unless of course you’re a doctor, nurse, fireman or
serving vital infrastructure. Then unfortunately you have to complete your
shift. But thank you for your necessary work!
