East clothing - good news

I know!

I am beyond excited!!!!

Opening up shops - or online?

That's great news.

Alleluia,thrilled.

I have had several items from them in the past so that is good news. My question too Lisagran, did they give any clues in their email as to when?

No details in the email .

Simply said “ We are delighted to announce the relaunch of East “ and a link to confirm email address in order to ‘ stay in touch’ and ‘ be first to know when we launch ’ ‘ COMING SOON’

I was very sorry when they disappeared, my nearest branch was in a particularly nice shop in my local town. I miss browsing as well as buying there. I hope they come back to the high street but maybe that's too much to ask given the overheads, I imagine they may well offer an online service, or possibly an "inhouse" section in say John Lewis.

Great news!

I have a lovely cotton East jacket. What good news. Thanks for the heads up NotaGran.

Am very glad to hear this!

It was one of my go to places, which I miss. Thanks for that piece of news.

Oh that's great news!

I loved East. For those of you who do like it you might also be interested in "Mistral" - it has shops in various south east and west locations but none in London and I don't think up north either. They have a good online shop as well. Everything I have bought from there has lasted and lasted and is great quality and a bit different

We have a mistral near us, I like their clothes too, but East was always my favourite shop as I got older, I hope it won’t have changed too much

I loved East and still have several garments in my wardrobe and wear them frequently. I do hope it has shops. I dislike shopping online, unless it is something basic like jeans where I know Landsend sells jeans that fit me.

I hope they do the lovely summer bags.

Monica, I know which Landsend Jeans should fit me but I can never guarantee that they will.

Oh no...the middle class saviour.

Hooray! Does someone have a link I can use to send my email to East?

I'm glad East is coming back too, although I did find that the clothes became rather 'samey'
Loved the colours though.
My Best Buy from them was an ankle length fine wool embroidered evening coat with black background.
Started at £368 which I couldn't afford. Waited and watched as the price reduced in the sales and when it reached £55 I pounced!
That was about twenty years ago and I still have it.
Trouble is, because it's so distinctive I can't wear it very often.

As opposed to the people's champion Primark GG54?

So pleased to learn East is to return, how do we find more details?

Never heard of them!

I used to love East. Found them pricey but loved the ethnic inspired patterns and colours. I still have many of their clothes but then my MIL spoiled it by saying she thought them 'frumpy' (she is in her 90s!). I still find bits on eBay. I will watch with interest and hope they re-launch, but I'm trying to buy fewer new clothes these days in an effort to fade my enormous carbon footprint, so I tend to buy second-hand where possible.
Thanks for the heads-up!

I think East is now owned by Monsoon so maybe some of their shops will stock East items? Hope so!
