Born Clothing, a clothing chain with 15 stores across Ireland, announced on social media on Wednesday, April 22, that it is time to 'say goodbye' after 16 years in business. The closing-down sale starts on Thursday with discounts of up to 70%, according to multiple reports.
Born Clothing is in provisional liquidation, according to multiple reports. As a result, the company has outlined several restrictions for the liquidation sale. Gift vouchers cannot be accepted during the sale, returns of stock bought before the liquidation cannot be refunded, and credit notes provided by the store before the liquidation cannot be accepted. The company stated: 'As the company is in provisional liquidation, please note the following: no gift vouchers can be accepted during the liquidation sale, no returns of stock bought before the liquidation can be refunded, no credit note provided by the store before the liquidation can be accepted.'
After 16 wonderful years in business, it's time for us to say goodbye.
Items bought during the liquidation sales have a 30-day refund or return policy with a valid reason and receipt, according to the company. 'All Liquidation Sales allow for a 30 day refund/return policy in store, with reason and accompanying valid liquidation sale customer receipt. Any additional statutory rights remain unaffected. If the relevant store has closed, please contact bornclothing@bdo,' the company said.
Claims for refunds, returns of stock, or credit notes rank as unsecured claims in the liquidation. The company directed customers to submit claims via email: 'Claims for refunds/return of stock/credit notes rank as unsecured claims in the liquidation. To submit a claim to the liquidation, please contact bornclothing@bdo.ie for further details.'
We want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support over the years - for shopping with us, supporting us, and being part of our journey. It has meant more than we can ever put into words.
Several details remain unclear, including the exact date of store closures, the number of employees affected, and whether any buyer or rescue deal is being pursued. The cause of the liquidation has not been disclosed. It is also unknown if any stores will remain open after the liquidation sale concludes.
To our wonderful team, thank you for being the heart and soul of our business. Your loyalty and dedicated will always be appreciated.
