Pangaya Winding Down Operations
It is with great regret that I announce that Pangaya will be winding down operations. We first developed the notion of a high-end online retailer of environmentally-friendly women’s clothing in late 2003 and launched our online store in the summer of 2004. Since that time we have realized incredible growth, seen the industry mature in a way we never imagined, and had an incredible ride.
However, as with all businesses, the time and capital invested must provide a meaningful return for the effort to be justified. At this time, it simply no longer meets that most basic criteria.
We will continue operating as you have come to expect and will continue to do so until our inventory is depleted. For you, this means savings of up to 80% on your favorite brands. We will also continue to post to the blog.
Your readership and business has been most appreciated and please feel free to post comments or send us an email to corporate@pangaya.com. We promise to read each and every one.
Regards,
-Sean
