The business, which had previously been listed on the London Stock Exchange, was acquired by Boohoo in January 2021 after filing for administration.
The period covered by the accounts was clearly a tough one as its stores closed and it continued to battle the impact of Covid during lockdowns and in the post-pandemic environment.
Its sales were £56.2 million in the period globally, with the UK accounting for £52.4 million of that.
Its losses were attributed to the pandemic given the “unpredictability of customer demand, the rate of customer returns, the increase in shipping times and the cost of shipping both inbound and outbound products”.
