A few brands that have been featured on the channel have disappeared over the years for various reasons. The Real Pie Company has apparently now gone into administration, if online information is to be believed.

I don't actually like Orly Kiely items but, more than likely items could well end up in clearance on QVC if the company does go to the wall without a take over.

It's really sad when good companies do cease trading but it seems to be more commonplace nowadays.

Most of her stuff is already reduced on QVC. I bought a pair of toilet bags from Clearance earlier this year and was very impressed by the quality and, having no concept of measurements, I was surprised at how big and roomy they were. I was intending to give the second one as a gift but might keep it myself now in case it becomes valuable. O_o

Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

I've picked up a few of her things there, the last being a laptop bag that was really padded & well made.

One of the discount brand selling websites (ACHICA, Zulily or somesuch) had several categories of her stuff a couple of weeks or so ago. I did wonder if they were having some issues then. Obviously not enough to actually go and look though!

Not really my style of things but it's always a shame when a relatively big name folds. It would appear the staff knew nothing until 5 minutes before they threw them all out of the building without being paid - I can't believe the powers that be hadn't seen it coming for some time which is a bit rotten on their employees.

EDIT: BrandAlley has OK clothing and accessories at up to 65% off.

Shysty goings on there may well be but that article is incorrect. Corporation tax on £100k isn’t £26k. It’s £19k. If their bill was £26k their profits were £136k. And it makes no sense, from a personal tax perspective, if they are major shareholders in the business to pay themselves whacking great salaries.
