This is a message I never imagined I would have to write.
After five incredible years, Washla will be closing its doors on 26th June.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for every order, every kind message, every tag on social media, every review, and every time you chose to support my small business. You helped turn a simple idea into something real. Over the years, we proved that our shampoo and conditioner bars truly work — and the fact that so many of you came back again and again meant everything to me.
Making the decision to close has not been easy. I have tried my absolute best to keep Washla going, but with ever-rising ingredient costs, packaging increases, operational expenses, and a noticeable slowdown in sales, the business has sadly become unsustainable. Like many small businesses, there comes a point where passion alone isn’t enough to keep things running.
This isn’t about giving up. It’s about being realistic.
While Washla will no longer operate on its current scale, I will still be making our products for myself and my family — because I truly love them that much. It just won’t be at production level anymore.
If you would like to stock up on your favourite shampoo or conditioner bars, now is the time. Once stock is gone, it will not be restocked. I don’t want anyone to miss out.
Although this chapter is closing, I’m excited to say that something new is already in the works. I can’t share too much just yet, but it’s something I’m truly passionate about. Please follow @washla.uk on Instagram and Facebook — you’ll be the first to hear about it when the time comes. I would love for you all to join me on the next adventure!
I’m incredibly proud of what we built together. I’m sad, yes — but also grateful. Washla existed because of you.
With so much appreciation,
Elaine
Founder of Washla
