A CLEARANCE sale has started at an accessories shop ahead of its closure.
Claire's Accessories will be closing its store in Andover's Chantry Centre as part of plans to close 145 UK stores this year.
The retailer has kicked off a final clearance sale across its closing stores and is offering 40 per cent off items, excluding ear piercing.
The Claire's stores in Winchester and Salisbury are also closing. Administrator Interpath Advisory said it had done all it could to find a buyer.
The exact date for the stores' closures is not known; however, stores are expected to start closing within weeks.
Interpath’s UK chief executive Will Wright said: “Our intention is to continue to trade the remaining portfolio of stores for as long as possible, while we explore the options available.”

The store in Basingstoke's Festival Place will remain open after being bought, along with 155 other UK stores, by Modella Capital, the company behind TG Jones, Hobbycraft, Paperchase, and Tie Rack.
Claire's, known for its jewellery and fashion accessories that are especially popular with young girls, fell into administration on August 13, just days after its US parent company filed for bankruptcy.
It said that increased competition from online retailers, plus its debt obligations, had led to its downfall.
