The End of an Era: Studio M Home Closes Doors
In a shocking turn of events, Studio M Home, the beloved St. Louis-based outdoor decor and gift products maker, has announced its impending closure in April. The company, known for its innovative MailWraps magnetic mailbox cover, has fallen victim to the cruel clutches of financial woes, exacerbated by the relentless challenges of the pandemic.
Studio M Home, a beacon of creativity since its inception in 1989, captured the hearts of many with its licensed artwork adorning various home and garden products. However, all good things must come to an end, as CEO Curt Todd somberly expressed, ‘It has been incredibly difficult to say goodbye to this company and to the industry we have been a part of for so long, but we’ve reached a point where we cannot continue.’
As the final curtain descends on Studio M Home, the company will be accepting orders from retailers until March 25. With limited inventory up for grabs on a first-come-first-serve basis, customers can avail themselves of discounts on select items to help clear the remaining stock.

The interconnected web of closures in the retail landscape paints a grim picture of the challenges faced by businesses in the current economic climate.
