It is with deep regret that we announce the closure of our Bassendean location. We will no longer be offering our Restored/Handmade Furniture, as we have officially closed our doors. However, our online store will continue to operate, providing new furniture delivered directly to your door at www.islandandco.com.au.
When we expanded the business five years ago, we could never have anticipated the challenges that lay ahead. Launching a business during a global pandemic was incredibly challenging, and no one could have been fully prepared for it. I take responsibility for my naivety in thinking we could weather all storms. Between lockdowns, government-imposed restrictions that prevented us from accessing our own business, rising supply costs, and delays in production and shipping of imported goods, it was an uphill battle.
We did manage to weather the storm, but the ongoing cost of living crisis has not improved. Ultimately, the financial strain became too great, with more money going out than coming in.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our amazing customers, some of whom have been with us since the early days of Forgotten Hamptons. Our online store remains open, and we are committed to delivering quality furniture at great prices.
Thank you for your support.
Warm regards,
Alana and Damian
Founders of Island and Co
