Celebrating our 200th blog post!

Today marks a very special occasion on the Celtic Sheepskin blog as this is our 200th blog post! This is quite a notable milestone and it is thanks to you, our loyal blog readers, that we are still blogging.

Launched back in May 2010, the blog has been updated with new posts on Tuesday and Thursday each week, with the aim to keep you in the loop regarding all things Celtic. As well as providing additional information on our new products, we sometimes like to go ‘extra-curricular’ by giving you an insight into Celtic life, for example by interviewing members of staff or showing you what goes on behind-the-scenes at our photo-shoots. The aim was always and still is to use the blog as a way of communicating with our customers on an informal level, much like we would do if we had a high street presence but without the queues!

While we’re celebrating, I think it’s only right that I mention the launch of our new summer collection again – it’s so exciting, I just can’t help it. The full range is now available online and catalogues are due to hit doormats any day now so we are fired up and eagerly waiting to hear what you think of it all.

It seems that the miserable Easter weekend weather didn’t put anyone off the idea of summertime with orders already coming in thick and fast for our gorgeous summer pieces. So as this is our 200th blog post and to mix things up a bit today (after all, we like to offer something different to our blog readers!), I have pulled together some noteworthy figures about our new collection …

…the number of pages in the new catalogue.

…the combined number of pages across the Spring and Summer 2012 catalogues which have this year been split for the first time into two separate brochures. The Spring/Summer 2012 collection boasts 66% more pages than in Spring/Summer 2011, so we have more to offer you than ever before.

…the number of pieces which have been featured for the very first time this season.

…new colours available in our organic cotton range; Woodpigeon and Bijou Blue. This leads us smoothly on to our next figure…

…the number of pieces in the catalogue that come in more than one colour especially for all of you that have requested that we offer our most popular styles in more than one shade.

… the number of fabulous shades that our Nubuck & Suede Flip-flops come in (Pink, Blue, Tan, Taupe, Mocca, Black). Our flip-flops are a long-lasting alternative to the synthetic versions available elsewhere and they’re so comfy!

… the lowest priced piece of clothing in the catalogue. The Bamboo Short Sleeve Tee is brand new for summer and set to be one of this season’s key pieces. The length is perfect for every-day wear and the bamboo feel makes this so much more than just a normal t-shirt.

…and, conversely, the highest price! The price tag may be more ‘investment’ than ‘everyday’ but in my opinion, our Long Suede Coat is worth every penny – it is stunning and I’m sure it will become a wardrobe classic which will appear again and again.

That’s a great place to leave our 200th post. Thank you for reading and here’s to the next 200!
