Boohoo ‘owes suppliers hundreds of thousands of pounds'

Boohoo is facing mounting pressure after suppliers accused the fast-fashion firm of failing to pay them hundreds of thousands of pounds on time. The company, which is rebranding as Debenhams, has been rebuked for delaying payments to its suppliers, with claims it has ignored requests for it to reimburse clothes-makers. Speaking to Drapers, one UK supplier alleged they were owed several hundred thousand pounds for products they had delivered to Boohoo over a three-month period. Another said they were waiting for tens of thousands of pounds worth of payments which were six weeks overdue. Boohoo declined to comment on the report. The criticism comes just weeks after The Telegraph revealed that customers were also facing delays to repayments, with the company accused of failing to pay out refunds. In June, dozens of customers took to social media to criticise Boohoo for late payments. This week, some claimed they had referred Boohoo to Trading Standards for the failure to return their money. Writing on TrustPilot, one customer accused Boohoo of 'shocking, disgusting service' after waiting more than three weeks to receive their money back on a package they returned. Another claimed they would never use Boohoo again after spending weeks trying to get a refund. Boohoo last month admitted it was taking longer for customers to receive refunds, saying: 'We're aware that some customers haven't received their refunds as quickly as usual and we're working to resolve that.' It comes as the company races to finalise a refinancing deal, with sources suggesting an announcement about a new debt package is imminent. Boohoo is closing in on a £175m debt deal, with US investment giant TPG expected to provide a significant amount of the new funding. The refinancing talks come against a backdrop of sliding sales at Boohoo. It reported a 16pc fall in revenues in the year to February, as it battled mounting competition from Chinese fast-fashion company Shein. Figures last year revealed that Shein had overtaken Boohoo when measured by UK sales. Boohoo has sought to rebrand as Debenhams with bosses saying they are hopeful the online department store will become the 'driving force of the business' and 'lead the group recovery'. Frasers Group, a major shareholder in Boohoo, voted to block its name change to Debenhams earlier this year, meaning it is still listed as Boohoo on Aim. However, it has updated its corporate branding and main market ticker to Debenhams Group. It follows a scuffle between Boohoo management and Frasers' Mike Ashley this year. Frasers had sought to install its founder Mr Ashley as Boohoo's new chief executive. Boohoo shareholders voted down a proposal to add him to its board.

Love Island's Molly Smith shows off her gym-honed abs in tiny bikini while on holiday in Positano

Love Island beauty Molly Smith showed off her sculpted abs on Monday in a sizzling Instagram bikini video. The reality star turned fitness guru, 31, looked amazing as she showed off her figure in a floral bikini by the sea in Positano, Italy. She could be seen stepping out of the water after a dip and lounging by the rippling waves as she soaked up the sun. Molly briefly tied her hair up to go swimming in the sea before wearing it down in mermaid-like waves on land, accessorising with a silver watch and Van Cleef bracelet. She wrote: 'There's no better feeling than being able to fully switch off, knowing you've already put in the work.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by M O L L Y S M I T H (@mollysmith19) Molly went on to praise her own workout plans, which she shares online, claiming that they have helped thousands to feel 'strong, confident, and empowered'. She explained that the key to having a successful fitness routine is having 'no extremes! just sustainable, powerful progress.' Fans were quick to praise the Love Island star's body in the comments section, writing: 'wow wish I had that body.'; 'That body is INSANE.' Others simply replied with heart-eye emojis. Molly told Cosmopolitan that, for her, 'exercise is about feeling strong, confident, and pushing my body to its limits.' 'I mix it up with gym sessions, home workouts, and outdoor activities like hiking or running,' she explains. Earlier last year, the Boohoo ambassador sparked engagement rumours with her boyfriend Tom Clare, 25 - just months after they formed a sweet romance on the debut series of Love Island: All Stars in January. The stars, who were crowned winners of the All Stars version of the ITV2 reality TV show, set tongues wagging among eagle-eyed fans as they soaked up the sun in the Indian Ocean island paradise in August of last year. Tom hinted that he had popped the question to Molly as he took to his Instagram to post a mirror selfie of the pair, captioning it with: 'Wifey.' In the stunning snap, the loved-up pair both looked incredibly tanned as Tom gently placed his hand around Molly's waist for the snap. Tom went shirtless and sported a pair of black swimming shorts as he struck up a smile for the camera. Molly has become a fan favourite after once again winning the nation's hearts on the All Stars 2024 edition, and was unveiled as Boohoo's new face in March of last year, also cementing her status as a model and fashion ambassador.

Molly Smith showed off her incredible figure in a slew of bikini-clad snaps on Instagram on Friday. The former Love Island star, 31, flaunted her washboard abs in a skimpy, peach cream bikini as she posed up a storm at a beach in Positano, Italy. The stylish two-piece consisted of a halterneck bikini top with gold-toned hardware and matching tie-side bottoms. She further accessorised her beachy look with a gold wrist watch, a Van Cleef bracelet, and dainty hoop earrings. Sharing the sizzling snaps to Instagram, she captioned the post: 'Italian Summer ☀️.' The bikini-clad snaps from Italy come just days after Molly shared several jaw-dropping Instagram snaps from her recent holiday in Mallorca. The star looked sensational as she showed off her toned physique in a chic mustard bikini. The model and influencer put on a very racy display, striking her best poses with a pair of retro shades and a flawless blow-dry. Molly displayed her sun-kissed tan in the stunning pictures and captioned the post: 'Bikini szn'.

The stars, who were crowned winners of the All Stars version of the ITV2 reality TV show, set tongues wagging among eagle-eyed fans as they soaked up the sun in the Indian Ocean island paradise in August of last year.

Molly has become a fan favourite after once again winning the nation's hearts on the All Stars 2024 edition, and was unveiled as Boohoo's new face in March of last year, cementing her status as a model and fashion ambassador. Speaking on the impressive six-figure deal, Molly enthusiastically said at the time: 'I am absolutely thrilled to be partnering with boohoo! 'It's a brand that I've loved and worn for years, and to now be part of the family is just amazing. 'We've got some incredible things in the works, and I'm eager for everyone to see what we've been creating.'

'Her style is the epitome of what boohoo stands for—accessible, on-trend, and versatile. Molly's excitement for fashion shines through, making her a natural fit for our brand'.

The Sun's fashion desk reveal their favourite outfits for the summer – and they cost UNDER £100

See how you can nail the boho trend for less SUMMER LOVIN' The Sun's fashion desk reveal their favourite outfits for the summer – and they cost UNDER £100 Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Fabulous team reveal their favourite budget looks & their tips for smart shopping. ABBY, DEPUTY FASHION EDITOR 4 Abby's dress screams summer and its stretchy fabric makes it very comfortable Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd Dress, £31.99, earrings, £5.99, both New Look; heels, £32, Asos; bag, £22.99, Deichmann; necklace, £4, Primark. TOTAL: £96.97 I AM all for a bargain, but these days it's difficult unless you shop in the sale aisles. While I can't bag a dress for under £20 like I used to, there are lots of great budget brands. This dress in particular screams summer, with a pale blue shell and starfish pattern, and its stretchy fabric makes it very comfortable. It's fully lined and has a lace trim around the neckline, which makes it feel more expensive. Deichmann has some great bags and this woven one is just £22.99. I finish off the look with some raffia platform heels from Asos and some gold jewellery. TRACEY, FASHION DIRECTOR 4 Tracey's co-ord from Mango looks premium and really makes a statement Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd shoppers go wild for Tesco's perfect summer co-ord Shirt and trousers, both £35.99, Mango; bag, £12.99, H&M necklace, £14, Vinted; shoes, £1, Primark. TOTAL: £99.97 THERE are lots of cheap clothes out there, but putting a whole look together that feels elevated for under £100 is a tough call these days. I always look for standout pieces at affordable prices, and this co-ord from Mango looks so premium – it really makes a statement. The print is bold and looks designer. The deep cuffs on the shirt add a touch of luxury, and it's so light and airy that it's perfect for the heatwave. But the real joy of this outfit is that I would wear it in the city for the office, yet I'd also throw it on over a bikini on holiday. Now that's a real bargain. EMILY, FASHION ASSISTANT 4 Emily is on the boho trend with this set from Primark Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd Top, £18, skirt, £20, both Primark; hat, £9.99, New Look; bag, £16, TU at Sainsbury's; wedges, £32.99, New Look. TOTAL: £96.98 LIKE most people my age, I'm saving for a mortgage so I've learnt how to put together great outfits without breaking the bank. The boho trend is back again this summer and I couldn't resist this set from Primark. I love the frill sleeved and tiered detailing and the skirt has an elasticated waist. Co-ords are a smart choice because you can wear them either as a set or style each piece separately – making them versatile pieces. This skirt is a perfect addition to my autumn wardrobe and I've added a raffia bucket hat and super comfortable wedges from New Look, plus a cute bag from TU at Sainsbury's. CLEMMIE, FASHION EDITOR 4 Clemmie's Boohoo suit looked expensive thanks to details like its frayed hems Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd Blazer, £37, and trousers, £24, Boohoo; black heeled sandals, £18, bangles £4, and bag, £10, all, Primark. TOTAL: £93. FINDING an outfit under £100 that genuinely looks good is tricky, but the high street has stepped up. I always look for unique details, like the frayed hems on this Boohoo blazer and trousers – it really sets them apart from the usual tailoring. The boxy blazer and wide-leg trousers have a premium feel, too. When I first tried it on, my reaction was 'I can't believe that's Boohoo.' Attention to detail makes all the difference. With my go-to gold bangles and heeled sandals with gold detailing, I'm set. Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.
