Due East, a clothing, accessories, and home goods store on Goldsborough Street in downtown Easton, will be closing its doors at the end of August. Owners Mabel Williams and Rebekah Miller opened in the spring of 2011 on Harrison Street in the space that is now Mabel’s Bakery. Their goal has always been to stock the shelves and clothing racks with thoughtful purchases that present an artistic, creative, and functional style at mid-range prices. More than three-quarters of their vendors have provided clothing, shoes, and accessories that are made in North America, and nearly all of their jewelry comes from local artists.
Williams and Miller both share a passion for the outdoors and fashion and combined their business and sales experience to build what has been a successful three year run for Due East.
Describing that it is just not the right time and place for their retail venture, the duo regretfully made the announcement that they were closing to customers via email this week.
Everything in the store—clothing, jewelry, candles, pet accessories, purses, and more—will be marked down 30% starting this week, with discount prices listed on in-store décor and furniture. The percentage off will increase each week until Due East’s final day of sale, August 23rd.
Though the decision was made with heavy hearts, Williams and Miller are grateful for the loyal and supportive customers that have made Due East a wonderful, thriving storefront in Easton’s downtown.
Due East is located at 17 Goldsborough Street.
