Another Company Bites the Dust (Gee, Thanks, Wal-Mart)


A Cecil Seydah product we actually owned once.

From bargainsla.com: "The Textile industry has taken a huge hit these last few years from many economic factors some of which include imports from China along side Walmart’s urging of it’s vendors to out source to Asia. That’s one of the major reasons Pillowtex (Canon/ Fieldcrest/ Royal Velvet etc) went out of business last year. We can now kiss goodbye another local vendor/ manufacturer of textiles this week… The Cecil Saydah Company.

This local manufacturer of Kitchen / Bath/ Bedding items is having a going out of business sale: A liquidation sale on better home textiles is happening at The Cecil Saydah Company on November 27 (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.), November 28 (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and November 29 (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.). Known for their upscale line in home textiles for the kitchen and bath, this going out of business sale has pricing at below wholesale on kitchen accessories, bath towels and accessories, mats and more. 2945 E. 12th St., Los Angeles (Downtown). Cash/CC only 323.263.9321" BeansTalk wouldn't necessarily refer to their line as "upscale" but it's very country cute and the demise of any U.S. company due to corporate greed is very sad.
