Shock at closure of long-established Mayo fashion boutique
The Castlebar business has announced that it is to close.
There was tremendous shock and sadness in Castlebar following the announcement of the closure of a long-established fashion store.
Ladies fashion outlet, Don Racine has been a fixture on Castlebar for more than four decades.
The business was established in 1981 by the late Michael Parsons alongside his wife Margaret. Helena and Martin Parsons carried on their parents legacy following Margaret's retirement. The family thanked all who have supported them in a post on social media. “After a lifetime in fashion, the time has come for us to hang up our boutique rails and step into retirement.
"Don Racine has been more than just a ladies boutique , it’s been part of the community, a place where we’ve shared laughter, conversations, and countless moments helping women feel stylish and confident. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible customers, many of whom became friends.
“We want to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us throughout this journey. Your loyalty and kindness have meant more than words can say.”
The business is holding a sale before its closure. “From our family to yours: thank you for the memories, the support, and for allowing us to be part of your lives,” the post added.
