Rare London fashion label goes bust

Customers have been left "fuming" after a fashion label modelled by celebrities went bust.

Rare London announced on Facebook that administrators had decided it should cease trading, making staff redundant.

Customers took to the site to complain they had not received ordered items or refunds for returned goods.

A statement by the company said they would have to make a claim against the insolvent estate to get their money back.

The fashion label has 115,000 followers on Instagram and is also stocked by retailers Asos, Topshop and Next.

Photos on social media show its clothing has been modelled by reality TV celebrities including The Only Way is Essex star Sam Faiers, Made In Chelsea's Louise Thompson and Love Island's Kady McDermott.

In a statement posted on Facebook on Monday, Rare London said administrators from Duff & Phelps Ltd were appointed on 26 July.

"The joint administrators had to take the unfortunate decision to cease to trade the company with immediate effect making all staff redundant."

The label told customers who had recently placed an order or were a awaiting a refund to contact their bank or credit card company to see if they could get their money back through them.

"In the event that you are unable to secure a refund of the monies paid then you will need to make a claim against the insolvent estate as this balance will rank [as] an unsecured claim against the company," it added.

Many customers took to Facebook to express anger that they had recently ordered items or asked for refunds and were now left out of pocket.
