Cross posted from MHL, GJF and the 'Just Julips' FB group. Julip has a new owner!
Post by libby on Oct 1, 2013 at 5:26pm A couple of
months ago I was given the opportunity to purchase Julip as a company
with the exception of the Horse of the Year range; as a result, Julip
has now been divided into two entirely separate companies, those being
the Julip Horse of the Year range and Julip Originals.
The Julip Horse of the Year range (which will still be owned by Annabel)
will continue to run in much of the same way it always has and horse of
the year products will still be available for purchase directly via www.juliphorses.com/
and through a variety of online suppliers.
However Annabel will no longer be producing the original latex Julip’s,
these products will now be produced by us (me!) under the new name of
Julip Originals.
The aim of Julip Originals is to produce everything you have come to
expect from the Julip brand in exactly the way it has always been, from
the moulds to the latex, from the paints to the thinners, everything is
identical to what has been used in the past.
While we are aiming to produce all of the latex products Julip Horses
has released, which includes horses, ponies, yearlings, foals, cats,
dogs, foxes and even doves, initially we will only be able to make
batches of spares and not custom orders; of course special orders will
be able to be taken once production is in full swing and we are also
hoping to introduce some new exciting moulds in the coming year. Its
also safe to say that the Julip shows and 'paint your owns' will also
continue to be a part of Julip.
Over the next couple of months we will be launching an official Julip
Originals website, community forum, Facebook group, Twitter feed and
Flicker account.
In the meantime if you have any questions or queries please do not
hesitate to ask and we will strive to keep the Julip community up to
date with any progress.
As we have only just taken possession of all the moulds and other
paraphernalia it is going to take a little while to get up and running,
so please bear with us and i'll do my best to keep everyone informed of
our progress
This should mean that orders will be far easier to make and will get a lot faster and more efficient as they were kinda lacking in that department the last few years.
Maybe like that more of them get into the international second market, too. I have not yet giving up hope to find one that i like and that will actually ship to me. *g*
ReplyDeleteJulip have always shipped worldwide so I presume they will continue to do so! :D
DeleteYay that's good news, hope it works out. After the UH/magpie disappointment I'm reserving judgement.
