Kit Heath's New Retail Furniture!

Kit Heath Roll Out Stunning Retail Furniture!

Kit Heath is rolling out a stunning range of Retail Furniture and in little over 2 months has secured ten store locations and has significant interest from many other retailers.

The Kit Heath in store retail concept has been created to deliver an unrivalled experience in jewellery presentation and communication.
As a further means to support the retailer the brand has created branded units designed to fit in an existing store space. 
With the ever increasing emphasis on the consumer "experience" and the "look and feel" of the high street retailers, the growth of expectations from programmes like Mary Queen of Shops, (now the backing from the government) it is foremost in the consumers mind set.
Kit Heath realise especially in these fragile times that to expect retailers to revamp an entire shop floor to suit our ideal brand presence to meet these growing demands is unrealistic.


However, we CAN assist the retailer to present our jewellery in the way in which we envision by creating these units that can be positioned easily and effortlessly in an existing store space with little excess cost to the retailer. 

We don't expect our retailers to do a store make over to suit our every launch (twice a year), but we will support the retailer by supplying the updated brand imagery which is produced to fit with in the existing units.





Visually stunning, the furniture features a striking glass wall unit and unique children’s jewellery rotating carousel, both designed to enhance any jewellery shop and to present your Kit Heath jewellery in the best possible way for your customers.
The furniture is manufactured to exacting standards in the UK by a North Devon team of jewellery shop fitters, featuring state of the art LED lighting, toughened glass for high visibility, and a wealth of additional features. Kit Heath Retail Furniture represents outstanding and exceptional quality and design.

Kit Heath’s Retail Furniture will be on display at IJL in September 2011

Kit Heath talk about the increase in silver price


Kit Heath talk about the increase in silver price
The 1980's saw an increase in the price of silver to $50 an ounce, what the industry retailers and consumers want to is; will it happen again?
It looks like it might.....

As is well documented the price of silver has risen significantly over the last 12 months. 

It was just $18 this time last year and at the end of 2010 was “only” $28 an ounce. The last four months, however, have seen an even steeper silver price rise culminating in the recent 30 year peak of $49. 
 
As a business, at Kit Heath we continue to work hard with our suppliers to maximise design value. 

We hope the silver price increases are short lived, but the general economic climate seems to support a “high” silver price trend for the foreseeable future and not just a temporary supply curve like we saw in the 80's. 
Silver is now an investment vehicle, at least whilst global interest rates are kept low and whilst demand outstrips supply. As a result the silver price is expected to remain high, volatile and at the mercy of speculators.

We will continue to carefully monitor the silver price on a regular basis, as we remain wholly committed to our strategy of offering excellent value for money to our retailers and consumers.

The Cambridge Look!

After a wonderful bank holiday of celebrations that swept across the country, there is another thing that is sweeping the nation and integrating itself in to our every day life which is the style of our rejuvenated royals!

Here at Kit Heath we have been keeping a close eye (much like every other office interested in all things fashion) on what our newest royal will be wearing next?




Most recently, we were captivated by Catherine's outfit the day after the big event, which was to mark her newly appointed title as the Duchess of Cambridge by wearing the classic colour associated with Cambridge.

Was it a deliberate move or was it just to match that engagement ring we wondered! We settled on probably both and happily went on with our next discussion which was indeed about those elegant and dreamy but oh soooo comfortable looking wedges! 

It got us thinking and researching about Cambridge blues and we found some information which we thought we would share, it seems the actual colour itself comes into dispute and perhaps will be settled once and for all by our new Duchess? We think so.

So, here we give you our silver and blues to match and best compliment Duchess style! Enjoy!
