It was sad to hear that the famous Cocoon rubber shop in Digbeth, Birmingham has closed its doors for the last time. I read something about it on a thread here recently, googled it, and found the linky here: http://digbeth.org/tag/cocoon/ It appears they're continuing with the online business, and opening a new shop in Brugge, Belgium in the near future. Their email address stays the same. www.cocoon1.co.uk Needless to say I have no connection with Cocoon except as a satisfied customer. Rubber Roy Edited Tue 9 Feb 10, 9:12 AM by rubberroy | ||

I too am saddened by this news. I believe the original owners have wanted wanted to sell on the company for some time. I think they wanted to retire, yet have the company continue. If I remember correctly (and I may well be wrong) manufacturing was carried out in Kidderminster and I suspect that will no longer be the case in future. I wonder what will happen to the workforce who produced such excellent pervewear. Tony

Oh, did they produce pervewear? And there's me innocently thinking they made raincoats.... Rubber Roy |
