both spring ang autumn .hen Jaeger. And now another iconic High Street brand has
hit troubled times.
French Connection, which turns 30 this year, has announced it will be selling 14 shops — notably premises in Bluewater, Brent Cross and Lakeside shopping centres — after its UK and European business lost 8.2 million in one year.
One of the reasons is the mild weather over the winter months which meant shoppers haven't invested in winter coats, jackets and knitwear. And we are yet again in a recession, which is curbing the spending of everyone save the richest.Two words to help you buy canada goose jacket discount.
But it's my belief these grim economic times merely snuff out the under-performing, complacent and greedy businesses — all criticisms that could be levelled at French Connection. I have shouted from the rooftops many times about the lacklustre fashion to be found in the chain's stores.
In 2006, I wrote in these pages after a visit to the flagship store on London's Oxford Street where 'everything seems made of polyester, with “Made in China” on the label.The other problem is that a kayak makes waffen ss uniforms a sound like a drum. And everything is outrageously expensive.'
Well, fast-forward a few years and the situation seems even more dire, if that were possible. Inside the branch in Bristol, which features the latest dreadful advertising campaign in the window — 'I am the collection', 'I am a coat hanger' — it is like a mausoleum. Customers are outnumbered by the store's sales assistants at a ratio of four-to-one. And while the staff are unusually smart, sweet, helpful and friendly, even they seem embarrassed by what is on offer on the rails.
First of all, did the chief executive and chairman Stephen Marks manage to get hold of a shipload of sequins on the cheap? There are sequins on everything: tiny lemon hotpants, vests, dresses and cardigan jackets — which, with their gaudy sparkles, are the sort of thing women wear to their 80th birthday party. Everything is polyester or acrylic — even the quite nice grey cardigan which turns out to be only 30 per cent wool. And it all seems badly out of date, which is suicidal when you remember that the likes of Topshop and Marks & Spencer refresh their stock every few days.
