City fashion firm closed after falling into the red

But despite gaining a strong reputation, and even support from Plymouth City Council and retail giant M&S, it has gone into liquidation with debts of £90,000. The social enterprise, a joint venture between the Millfields Community Economic Development Trust and Arts University Plymouth, will be wound up voluntarily.
