Does anyone know if Vatche closed its doors (temporarily or permanently) or perhaps got acquired/merged with another company?

Their website
https://www.dvatche.com/ now results in this:

Not Found
HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.


I know I was on there at one point in the last couple months browsing some of their designs since retailers don’t show them all. I did find this site: https://designsbyvatche.business.site/ which reflects “Eclipse Corp/Designs by Vatche” label/branding, but something just doesn’t seem legit about it.

Anyone know what’s up?
:confused:

I’m not “on” FB (e.g., have an acct), but a google search produces their FB page, which appears silent since Dec. 2019, unless there are posts I just cant see since I don't have an account. And their IG account only has a couple “odd” recent postings for a jewelry designer brand such as theirs ... https://www.instagram.com/designsbyvatche/

I cant believe this could have slipped thru the cracks until now??? This is very strange, I hope someone can clear this up for you. I also hope its just a temporary thing!!:(

I thought I saw WhiteFlash hawking Vatche earlier this week on Insta, but I don't like Vatche settings so I don't pay tons of attention to WF on Insta if it's a setting. YMMV.


I pinged some people to see what I could find out.

Hello all,

According to Vatche, a server issue is affecting their online presence. They expect to have it fixed in short order. I am also pleased to report they plan to re-open on Monday after weeks of no-access to their building in New York. They won’t be back to full speed immediately, but will be back in their offices.

Wishing us all health, safety and hope.

Thank you @Winks_Elf

I’m really surprised they didn’t post anything to their IG or FB accts to let customers know. Something was posted to their IG showing some guy, a hooka & an airplane which seemed odd/off ... like maybe their social media acct had been hacked.

Based on conversations with folks at Vatche, we expect them to open back up this coming Monday. They have been completely shut down for months due to COVID, which has prevented them from addressing their IT issues as well as manufacturing. Hopefully we will see them cranking back up next week.

We will post a further update as soon as we have one.
