📢 Big News 📢
Hey everyone, we’ve got something to share. After much deliberation Scout House will be closing its shopfront around the end of January or Early February.
If you haven't visited in a while, this is the perfect opportunity. We will be clearing all floor stock plus a very amazing selection of one offs, samples , collected special pieces , textiles, rugs, home fragrances and books at hugely discounted prices. Snag yourself a bargain and fill those Santa-Sacks with treasures.
But don’t worry, we’ll still be operating online! After 14 amazing years, it’s time for us to say goodbye to our physical. store. The retail world and St Kilda have changed so much, the pandemic, local council support, car parking, supply chain and finding a great team have created so many challenges.We’re incredibly grateful for the love and support from our customers. Although this was a tough decision, it is the right move for us.
Since 2009, we have proudly contributed to the Bayside community by providing a unique, eclectic mix of products you can’t find elsewhere. However, despite our efforts, we faced many challenges common to small businesses in today’s retail environment, and our growth crazy quick and unsustainable.
I feel so sad about this decision, it wasn’t made lightly. Things have changed so much now. We can no longer compete with the huge faceless global chains. Many of the brands we have showcased through the years have lost the spark that made them so special.
Our manufacturing division, which includes beds, furniture, and custom-made items, will operate at full capacity in the new year. We plan to invest in these product lines, allowing us to improve our offerings and reduce lead times.
We will fulfill all existing orders and obligations before closing down the shopfront. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to DM us or reach out at [email protected] Thanks again for everything! 💖 Orlando.
