Opinion of one not all

The Graduate Store would like to apologise for the designer who represented the sentiments of all the designers of the store when he spoke to Ragtrader in the article [headlined 'The Strand: Money talks so the young designers walk'] published May 22.

The Graduate Store would like to thank The Strand and Ipoh for the amazing opportunity they gave us. Sadly The Graduate Store has shut its doors for now for reasons unrelated to The Strand. All the designers viewed the project as a complete success and an invaluable experience.

The Strand was incredibly generous to us and did all they could to help us remain in the centre.
