Goodbye Floris

Fans of classic British toiletries will have the bittersweet pleasure of a 50% off sale as the venerable Floris prepares to close the doors of its Madison Avenue boutique forever. The sign in the window (pictured at left) indicates that the company is exiting the retail business altogether, and directs customers to their website and other retailers who carry their products. Our bet is that yet another luxury jeweler will take the space, though it would be nice to see a little bit of diversity left on Madison Avenue.
