They are suppose to relaunch the brands in a couple of months according to their facebook page. Of course I had to read through a lot of comments to get this information. Not very transparent information to their costumers to say the least.Judithhttp://lipstickintheattic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908918720204607979.post-68602492463209962242014-05-16T16:06:43.593+02:002014-05-16T16:06:43.593+02:00I didn't know that Inglot went bankrupt.

I guess they never learnt what you are free to think but not say. The younger generation has definitely made some progress though!Sunny @Mostly Sunnyhttp://mostlysunnyblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908918720204607979.post-14188606778561349692014-05-16T16:06:41.568+02:002014-05-16T16:06:41.568+02:00The owner died last winter I think.

I guess I have to see it that way, but as a North American with all the shame around the slavery and the way natives got treated it's hard to take those things lightly. But then again here there's the whole colonial history. Oh well...Judithhttp://lipstickintheattic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908918720204607979.post-83055616244399158222014-05-16T16:06:40.556+02:002014-05-16T16:06:40.556+02:00Hey Judith, aww I'm so sorry to hear about the...Hey Judith, aww I'm so sorry to hear about the disappointment! Inglot went bankrupt in the Netherlands very recently (I heard the owner died of a heart attack). Also about the Sinterklass thing: kids here take it very seriously. The story has been around for SO long that it continues to include Zwarte Piet. I personally try to ignore the "racist" component in there and just treat it like any other folklore!Sunny @Mostly Sunnyhttp://mostlysunnyblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908918720204607979.post-37519691484616825862014-05-16T16:06:39.547+02:002014-05-16T16:06:39.547+02:00There was so many people and at least 20 Zwarte Pi...There was so many people and at least 20 Zwarte Piets everywhere I got creeped out a little bit! We didn't stay sooo long. I just bought a bit of MAC make up and we went to the Irish pub.Judithhttp://lipstickintheattic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908918720204607979.post-34813274034287114302014-05-16T16:06:39.113+02:002014-05-16T16:06:39.113+02:00A pity that the INGLOT store wasn't there anym...A pity that the INGLOT store wasn't there anymore! I know you really looked forward to it. Did you go to Primark? There was a lot of buzz about that too. Brussels is definitely closer, so worth the trouble much more :)Natasjahttp://eyespaintedblack.com/noreply@blogger.com
