27/12/10 We hope that everyone had a happy and peaceful festive season.
The government is increasing VAT to 20% from the beginning of January and I am afraid we have to pass this on to you along with a small general price increase. The world markets in steel and cotton (two resources we rely on) have spiralled during 2010. We held off passing this increased cost on for as long as possible but we cannot absorb these costs any more.
We refuse to compromise on the quality of our materials by using cheap Chinese imports and will always strive to bring you the best products at fair prices.

07/12/10 Vena Cava Design would like to wish all our customers a happy and peaceful Yule. Thanks for your continued support through 2010 and wish you all a healthy and prosperous New Year.
