    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


    My wife manages to pick up diesel jeans in our local tk max for £15-30. I do think fashion jeans are like the supermarket salads, very high margins.

    I think in all the discussion on here in the past few weeks about shops closing the one common thread has been the sympathy for any workers caught up in everything.

    Hope everything works out okay for you.

    Never heard of them, but again it is a shame for the employees who will be losing their jobs etc, especially at this time of the year.
    My suggestion and/or advice is my own and it is up to you if you follow it, please check the advice given before acting on it.

    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.
    I tried on a pair of jeans that were for a younger and thinner person. Having squeezed into them I was then unable for a good fifteen minutes to get the things off again. That was the last time I went shopping in a designer store - M&S or ASDA now. Got to face reality.

    Oh dear, it looks like the very expensive to build shopping arcade opened only a few years back in my city centre is going to be looking very empty soon, as yet another store in it closes!! :o
