A JEWELLERY and accessories store is to close its doors, marking the exit of another high street brand from the town centre.

Claire’s Accessories store in Bournemouth to close

The chain agreed to sell 156 of its shops to investment group to Modella Capital, securing around 1,000 jobs, administrators have said. Bournemouth’s store is not one of these.

The shop has now displayed large “everything must go” and “store closing down, 20 per cent off original price” signs across its exterior, with the discount applied to all of its stock.

Natasha Harbinson, managing director at Interpath who led the sales process, said: “Following an agreement between Modella Capital and Ames Watson in the US in relation to the Claire’s brand, we are pleased to confirm a sale of the majority of Claire’s UK business and assets which will ensure this popular brand will continue to trade on high streets up and down the UK.”
