Fashion retailer White Stuff saw sales fall 6.2 per cent last year.

The brand, which has stores in Cirencester, Gloucester Quays and Cheltenham, saw earnings fall to £6 million in the year to 28th April, as reported by Retail Gazette.

The fall in sales was partly offset by an increase in online sales of 3.5 per cent, following investment in a new web platform. Online sales now make up 30.4 per cent of the company's total sales.

White Stuff's international sales grew by 7.5 per cent over the same period, with growth particularly strong in the German market.
