Joules clothing has gone bust!

[Zrt]

I just heard on the radio. Don't know what others think but I used to love their brightly coloured pyjamas.

they don’t let me forget them, with all the emails they send.
brakeburn or cotton traders would be my other suggestion.
good luck in your quest!

This.
I read somewhere the other day that Joules had been sold to/ invested in by venture capitalists- so even if the original owner still has some say/ share, the overriding objective for the last few years will have been to drive increasing levels of profit, which probably explains the drop in quality a lot of people have mentioned.
I’m not a Joules customer but it is sad to see yet another brand and its jobs disappear - I think it’s the classic trope of over expansion and frankly greed for returning more money to more people. I expect if it had stayed smaller it might have survived. Happened to a lot of businesses over the last decade, in the headwinds of online shopping and fast fashion.

I made an order on the 17th, still was wasn’t fullfield. I’m hoping it will come as the item was only few in stock and now it’s out of stock for last 3 days..

I placed an order last weekend before the announcement and got lots of kids stuff - I added it up I spent £97 for basically about £400's worth of stuff as I also applied an extra 20% sale code I'd had emailed.

I had an email confirming my order
Then another to say it was being dispatched
A text to say it had arrived in store (yesterday) so I collected it and it's all ok but I don't think I'll order anymore incase it doesn't arrive.

Some of the stuff I got is even cheaper now but to be honest I got a good deal so I'm not too bothered.

I remember the uproar when Laura Ashley went into administration and people had ordered sofas and expensive items that never came as they made the warehouse staff redundant first and just sent any left over stock to the shops to sell off disregarding the fact the website was open and still taking customers orders which was awful.

For this reason I wouldn't personally order anything else - you can probably claim off credit cards but it's all extra hassle

@OhIdoLike2bBesideTheSeaside I only ordered one item- raincoat.
I usually get Joules clothes in their EBay outlet which always has free delivery However this jacket wasn’t available on EBay so I ordered from their website.
I believe if ordered from EBay Joules outlets you get an extra protection from EBay.

I'm not surprised it's not your everyday shop.

Just had an email to say that the Joules founder has teamed up with Next to save the company.

Whether or not this saves the shops is unclear, but the staff did seem reasonably happy about a fortnight ago when I popped into a shop.

Our local shop has already closed down

All but 19 shops have been saved and are here to stay.
