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.

Oh this is sad I love their stuff for kids

Will they have a sale

I am not surprised the clothes are dated and over priced. I have frequently looked for clothing for my 3 boys and found nothing they would either like or wear. Not all boys are into dinasours and trucks which is pretty much the extent of there boys clothes choices.and if they were they can be bought in Asda for 60 percent less.

I've always bought from there, especially coats for myself and the grandkids. But I think they outsourced to cheaper manufacturers some time ago and I went to Seasalt instead. I'm happy to admit to being a 52 year old frump

I'm happy to pay good money for clothes but not when they're massed produced in the far east and cost peanuts to make. If I want Primark quality, I'd go to Primark thanks.

The kids clothing is very expensive really in todays economy

The womens clothing rarely changes year to year

I’m actually gutted about this, I love Joules so much! Admittedly I buy a lot of stuff from outlets and Vinted because I can’t justify the full price.

They are not. I’ve seen those labels in Polarn o Pyret, Kite, Hatley…

I wonder what store will be the next to go bust?

Judging by the comments on this thread it sounds as if selling the children's range as a separate company could be a possibility. So many people being positive about the children's clothes.

Come on, it's simply unnecessary to make nasty comments about people who wear Joules knowing that some of them are reading it. Would you say the same thing to a woman at work or at school pick up time who wears Joules? I think not. The main spiteful comment has been deleted now, I see.

This is the thing. Everything is going. Even my favourite restaurant closed recently. Sad times.

I see trolls everywhere, but on this thread? Why? What comments make someone a troll to you?

I really liked some of their tunics, always really well made and comfortable. I couldn't afford a lot of their clothes though as they were so expensive.

Really sad to see another brand name going :-(

I worry Boden might be next.

They have been having massive discounts recently! I actually had something in my basket yesterday and it had sold out before I checked out! Maybe I had a lucky break. Agree that their stuff was very dated, or toddler clothes for adults.

I bet Next buy them or the name in some way.

Sad though it is, I am not surprised...all a bit frumpy and boring. Guess Seasalt and White stuff will follow at some point.

Kids clothes great.
really flattering coats and nice shaped wellies. Women’s clothes too expensive and a bit big for me so I look frumpy.

its a shame, their delivery and customer service was dire. I had a couple of lost deliveries of sale stuff, I contacted them to say there’s no point if I can’t get the items, so they offered me an online voucher instead of a refund

They do seem to be running constant codes.

I’d lose all self control in their closing down sale.

Oh bugger. This is just awful for all the staff - and yet another British company gone.

I like Joules, but then I’m nearly 70 so am probably allowed to? 🤔 None of the stuff I’ve bought has the much derided flowers or cutesy prints on, but I’ll admit I do like a stripe. Ime Joules has been much better quality than most and I’ll miss it.

Yep think with the COL and government austerity there'll be many more closures as people cut back where they can.
Sad times, particularly for the staff affected.

They do have a 30% off everything sale this week until Thursday. And I have noticed that they have a lot more in stock than usual. The children's clothes usually sell out quickly. However, as someone else said, Boden seems to be very popular in the US. Hopefully, the fact that they sell abroad will help.

I love Joules because they think the average 13 year old might wear a coat with animals on it.... my 13 year old disabled boy only wears aged 10 but it means I can get clothes that suit him and his cheeky ways. Back to Boden then!

I do like their girls’ clothes, mostly buy secondhand though as it’s pricey but holds up really well. I can’t say I’ve ever really seen anything I’d want to wear but this is sad news for all the staff, especially in the run up to Christmas.

I think Joules is ok (apart from the done to death Breton in every colour style), I have a lot of winter coats and jumpers from them over the years.

If they’ve gone into administration surely fat face and white stuff won’t be far behind their stuff is truly awful.

Joules is one but many more are likely to close in the coming year.

Many high streets will turn into ghost towns.

Seasalt is absolutely not the same in style or quality as Joules.
