Irish designer Orla Kiely has announced the closure of her retail and online businesses.
An announcement on her company website says 'the retail and wholesale fashion business' - Kiely Rowan plc - has ceased trading as of Monday.
There were Orla Kiely stores in Kildare village and London, but those stores have now closed.
The statement notes that Orla Kiely's Home and Design licensing business won't be impacted by the closures, and its selection of accessories and homewares will continue to be sold through 'distribution partners'.
The brief statement adds: "Thank you for embracing our brand and designs throughout the years and for your ongoing support."
Ms Kiely - who graduated from NCAD in Dublin and is now based in London - is best known for her signature 'Stem' print.
Check out the windows at Orla Kiely, Covent Garden! Our special exhibition stem print poster has popped up around London too! Spot one, take a selfie, tag us, use #alifeinpattern and we'll share them all later in the exhibition! @orlakiely pic.twitter.com/TmPiQwpwwN
