The retailer, Claire’s, known for tween jewellery and ear piercing is preparing to appoint administrators in the UK and Ireland, after it struggled to keep up with competition from online retailers such as Amazon.
The decision puts 2,150 jobs at risk and comes after Claire’s in the US and Canada filed for bankruptcy this month.
We would like to hear your memories of Claire’s and what it means to you. We’re also interested in hearing from anyone who works for the retail store and what the news might mean for you.
