Do you know its turnover or something? There are are many definitions of big.

Edit:

Ok so a few dozen stores. Probably the sort of outfit you'd expect to go bust in bad times. Tough for the workers of course.

Any links?

Yes its a fairly well known fashion chain, been around i think for around the last 5-7 years.

Good news i suppose for those that like their designer clobber, was in there yesterday and the Diesel jeans that i were looking at had a massive discount from £145 down to £130:rolleyes:

Might be able to pick them up now for under 70 bucks.

I think 2009 will be a good year for bargain hunters:D

Only 15 stores affected, other 43 would appear to remain safe.

Expensive brand selling shop that I've been in once.

I bought a pair of obscenely expensive jeans from them when I sold my house and felt loaded.

Now I can't believe I bought them, although they are nice. It mostly sells overpriced designer tat to people younger and thinner than me.

That made me chuckle. I think that line should be their marketing slogan:

"We sell overpriced designer tat to people younger and thinner than you".

I've been in there a few times, and whilst I don't have a problem with spending decent money on decent products, shops that sell t-shirts for over £60 are just stupid and pointless.
