Please help me remember the name of this clothing shop!

The clues are:
UK highstreet
Now defunct
Was open in 2003/2004 but unsure when it closed
Used to sell jeans that were embellished on the back pockets (amongst other things!)
The brand name was sewn/ embroidered into the jeans!

I used to love them and it driving me nuts!

Benetton (possible mis-spelling!)

Key west

Can't believe no one has suggested C&A yet! To be fair I can't remember the jeans well, but it fits the rest of the criteria! Got a great paisley top there in about 2003.

Actually, it looks like it still exists. I'm sure it went bust in about 2004

I think C&A have shops in Germany.

Missing the point but I took my nearly teenage daughter clothes shopping the other day and it was depressingly slim pickings. Certainly nowhere near the choice that I had in the 80’s.

I absolutely LOVED Bay Trading on my Saturday job budget!

Firetrap? You could get them in schott

@PastMyBestBeforeDate Damn, I though I checked! Still, I've had a nice time remembering some of the things I bought from Etam and TammyGirl! Grin

Are you sure it wasn't a local shop that was only in your location? A shop selling clothes that wouldn't look out of place on a market stall?

glittereyelash · 14/01/2022 18:19

Miss sixty, nope, awear,

Eaumyword · 14/01/2022 18:20

Is the OP coming back to say if she remembers from all the suggestions?!

Evisu and Miss Sixty were really expensive!

Go to the Netherlands if you fancy some C&A, it’s Dutch in origin and still alive and kicking.

ShinyHappyPoster · 14/01/2022 18:27

I'm just posting to see if the OP ever comes back or if anyone works out the answer. I remember a shop selling similar on our high street. I can remember where it was and the displays but can't remember what it was called.
