High street retailer Claire's at risk amid US bankruptcy
The US-based fashion accessories and jewellery business has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a court in Delaware, according to new filings. It is the second time the group has declared bankruptcy, after first filing for the process in 2018 after it was unable to repay a loan. The group saw its finances improve after wiping around 1.9 billion dollars (£1.4 billion) off its balance sheet in a refinancing but has come under pressure from recent weak consumer demand and supply chain uncertainty. Claire's runs 2,750 stores across 17 countries. It has around 280 stores in the UK, with its head office situated in Erdington, Birmingham. Its UK stores are currently unaffected by the bankruptcy process. The new bankruptcy filings showed that the business reported liabilities and assets of between 1 billion dollars and 10 billion dollars. It also showed that the company owed more than 25,000 creditors. The group is owned by a group of firms, including investment giant Elliott Management, who were creditors when the retail firm first faced insolvency seven years ago. It was reported by Sky News last month that Claire's is working with advisers from Interpath to seek a potential sale or restructuring of its UK business. The report indicated that a sale deal could result in store closures across the UK. It also reported that Lakeland owner Hilco is among suitors considering a takeover deal for Claire's' UK operations. The US group said it is continuing in strategic review for the business, including discussions with 'potential strategic partners'. Chris Cramer, chief executive of Claire's, said: 'This decision is difficult, but a necessary one.

'I'd like to express my gratitude for our employees, who have continued to work diligently in a constantly evolving consumer landscape to deliver amazing products and experiences for our customers. 'We remain committed to serving our customers and partnering with our vendors and landlords in other regions during this time.'
