When we opened the Created in Brum shop in February we had a little launch party, as you do. Many people turned up and all was lovely and good. The only thing is the shop was pretty empty. It was sort of like meeting someone’s baby and expecting it to act like a precocious nine year old.
Three months on and the shop is definitely at the precocious nine year old stage. Chock full of goodies and feeling, as many have opined, “like a proper shop”. So before we close it we’d like to show it off one last time.
Saturday 22nd is our penultimate trading day. If you write off Sunday (as most intelligent people do) it’ll be your last chance to buy something in a shop with Created in Birmingham on the front for a few months.
From 6pm to 8pm we’ll be having an un-launch party. There’ll be a DJ playing some nice tunes and a table full of paper cups. Since we don’t have a budget for such things we’re asking that you Bring Your Own Booze. Or just have an orange juice.
And then we ask that you buy stuff.
Here’s the Facebook event page.
(Thanks to weekender staff “other” Aaron and Charlotte for sorting this out)
I was hoping the ‘un’ prefix had died a very welcome death.
It’s ironic.
It will be sad to see you go… Do you have any idea where and when you will open again?
As an admirer of Birmingham from afar your shop reminds everyone that the great creative tradition of the city lives on. The nations wealth was in the main ‘Made in Birmingham’, its a pity it was spent and wasted elsewhere. With best wishes from appreciative visitors to Birmingham from the hills of the Welsh Marches in the hope that you will make a triumphant return soon. Sorry we cant be with you for the un-launch but make it a creative time!

@Zsmii We’re going to take some time off and start thinking about that in July. But if it happens it will be in Brum city centre.
I failed to ever make the journey to the CiB shop from my countryside retreat. That makes me a BAD MAN! I too am an admirer, from afar. I’m due to be away this weekend but if that changes I will head over to say my farewell to this most exciting of projects. Hope to see you again, on the other side.
