Administrators to online fashion retailer my-wardrobe.com have sold the business in a pre-pack administration deal.

Since its launch in 2006, my-wardrobe.com has been financed through shareholder investment and loan notes totalling £15.4 million. However continual cashflow pressure and mounting losses meant that Meemi Ltd was unable to raise additional funding internally or elsewhere. 

Commenting on the sale Cadwallader said: “We are delighted to have completed the sale as a going concern. The outlook for my-wardrobe.com is extremely positive and we look forward to seeing the business flourish in the future.”

Bennett added: “We are working closely with the directors to ensure a smooth transition of the business. The buyer has every intention of honouring customer refunds.”
