Malin + Goetz, a popular beauty brand, has entered administration, leading to the closure of all seven of its stores in the UK. These stores were located in various areas of London, including Seven Dials, Soho, and Canary Wharf. The closure is expected to affect over 70 jobs.
Online orders from Malin + Goetz have been temporarily halted, with a message on their website informing customers of the pause. However, consumers can still purchase Malin + Goetz products through third-party retailers such as Liberty, John Lewis, and Space NK.
In a statement to TheIndustry.beauty, a spokesperson for Malin + Goetz expressed regret over the closure of their UK stores and head office, citing the decision as necessary after exploring all options. The impact on employees and customers is acknowledged, with job losses deemed unavoidable given the circumstances.
Although the website is expected to return after a brief maintenance period, the exact duration remains uncertain. Malin + Goetz, founded in New York in 2004 by Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz, initially offered six products catering to all skin types but later expanded into fragrance, body care, and other beauty categories.
