David & Goliath Closes UK Stores – Is Cute Not Popular Any More?

Colourful t-shirts and accessories brand David and Goliath has closed all of its UK stores.

David and Goliath had high-profile shops in Covent Garden. Carnaby Street, Westfield Startford, Bluewater and the Bullring in Birmingham. All of them are sadly now closed. Their website says the Covent Garden and Carnaby Street stores will be relocating, and that “Due to challenging real estate conditions in the London area, larger retail chains are forcing us to look for new locations.”

David and Goliath were well-known for fun, colourful designs. Lots of Cakes with Faces customers also like their t-shirts (and so do we!).

Does this mean the UK doesn’t like cute any more?

Are we tired of colourful t-shirts and wearing fun designs?

At Cakes with Faces I certainly hope not, and feedback from customers and online orders suggest it’s not true.

Support Independent Designers

It’s difficult for independent brands to compete with large chains. This is where you can help: Support the independent brand and colourful designs you love. Remember them when you’re looking for presents, or when you have a bit of spending money, and support the designers you love!
