Leulla no longer Trading

Luella, the British fashion house, has stopped trading since Club 21 withdrew from the long-term investment plan that had been set up for the house.

This comes after a major blow hit the company-Ready To Wear producer Carla Carini unexpectedly closed, making the company unable to meet needs for Spring 2010 orders.

Luella Bartley, the label's namesake, had this to say:

"This is a very disappointing situation for everyone involved with the brand…I very much appreciate the support that VSQ has given me, but it is upsetting not to be able to protect jobs in this difficult economic climate."
