Swaine Adeney Brigg in Administration?

I ordered a leather case from Swaine Adeney Brigg several months ago. I tried to contact them to find out what happened to my order. Neither my emails nor my calls got answered. Now, I found the following entry that notes that SAB is "in administration": http://opencorporates.com/companies/gb/046729...

Re: Harrisons Moonbeam for blazer?

I very much like the Moonbeam range and have several sports coats from this fabric that I use for "leisure wear".
