A small business owner based in Bristol says she has been left “devastated” after a van holding thousands of pounds worth of stock was broken into. Ellie Green, the owner of the clothing company Green Inc Co, claims that the theft occurred in broad daylight on Easter Monday from outside their studio on an industrial estate on Freestone Road.
Ms Green started Green Inc Co in 2020 with her partner as a way to brighten up the gloomy days of the pandemic. She now sells her handmade pieces, many of which are in her distinctive tie-dye style, on Etsy and at festivals and markets across the country.
After working at markets over the Easter weekend, Ms Green told Bristol Live that she and her team took the Bank Holiday Monday off, leaving several thousand pounds worth of stock in a padlocked van near their studio.
