akin is evolving π«
We are saying goodbye to our physical shop on Bridewell Alley, but in doing so we are saying hello to a future of new possibilities. As we approach 5 years of Akin being in existence you will know I have changed and pivoted the business throughout its history, and this time is no different. If youβre a golden oldie you will know akin started out purely as a magazine, publishing twice a year, we then dipped our toes into pop-up shops and after a short while jumped head first into opening a full time physical space but I'm ready for a new future. Our physical shop will be closing on Sat 22nd July π¨

By closing our physical space it will allow us to re-connect with our print loving community. Weβve been there, weβve done things and we want Akin to be a space for conversations to exist. Really, weβre not going anywhere, we have a bright future ahead of monthly pop-up shops, markets, online and in-person events alongside exciting future collaborations. Thank you to everyone who has supported and visited our shop on Bridewell Alley, now youβre going to have to keep a keen eye on our socials to see where weβre popping up next.Β

I have called my home for nearly two years now, first as a home for my design studio and secondly the home for our shop. It truly is incredible what magic can arise when women support women. Thank you to the Atwin team who have wholeheartedly supported our decisions and created a space for akin to exist. You're all golden π«
