Claire's files for bankruptcy as competition bites
UNITED KINGDOM, AUG 6 – Claire's faces financial strain with £25 million losses in three years and over 25,000 creditors amid weak demand, supply issues, and rising costs, risking closure of 280 UK stores.
- Claire's Accessories, a fashion jewelry chain with 2,750 stores across 17 countries and 280 stores in the UK, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a Delaware court.
- This is the second time Claire's has declared bankruptcy, having previously filed in 2018 after being unable to repay a loan.
- Increased competition, changing consumer spending trends, shift away from physical retail stores, debt obligations and macroeconomic factors necessitated this course of action, according to CEO Chris Cramer.
