Flaura Rose says goodbye to Durham Market after 8 years trading

Flaura Rose, run by June and her daughter Laura, has been a familiar sight at Durham Outdoor Market every Saturday, known for its bold, bohemian style and handmade pieces.

The family-run business, which offers reworked vintage denim, statement jewellery and unique accessories, has built up a loyal following among shoppers looking for one-of-a-kind items.

In a post shared by Durham Market, traders paid tribute to the pair as they prepare to move on to the next chapter of their business journey.

A spokesperson said: “After eight wonderful years on Durham Outdoor Market, we’re saying a very sad goodbye to June and Laura from Flaura Rose.

“June has always been the ‘Mama’ of the market – the one who looks out for everyone, checks in when you’re having a bad day, and somehow knows what’s happening before anyone else does.

“And Laura? Simply one of the loveliest people you’ll ever meet – kind, hardworking and always smiling.

“Together they’ve been such a huge part of the Durham Market family for the last eight years, and they will be genuinely missed by traders and customers alike.”

Over the years, the stall has become known for its colourful and creative fashion.

The business has since expanded into a shop in Ouseburn, Newcastle, which has “grown into something really special”.

The market spokesperson added: “While we’re incredibly sad to see them go, we’re also so excited to see where the next chapter takes them.

“Flaura Rose in Ouseburn has grown into something really special, and we know it will continue to flourish.

“The outdoor market won’t be quite the same without our Mama June and lovely Laura. We wish you both all the luck, happiness and success in the world.”

Since announcing the news, many longstanding customers on social media have sent messages of support.

One person said: “Sad to see you go, wishing you all the best.”

While another person said: “All the best to you both lovely ladies.

“You won’t get rid of us that quickly, we know where Flaura Rose is in Ouseburn.”
