Fashion label Kitri has announced its closure, with a final clearance sale offering up to 70 per cent off its remaining stock. The brand, founded in 2017 by South Korea-born Haeni Kim, was known for its playful prints, fresh silhouettes and mid-range occasion wear.
In an Instagram post, Kim said the decision had not come easily, adding: 'We explored every possible avenue, but ultimately this felt like the only responsible path forward.' The brand had built a loyal following for its dresses, outerwear and knitwear, but rising operational costs and shifting consumer habits proved insurmountable.
The closure comes amid a challenging retail landscape in the UK, where more than 11,000 independent shops closed in 2025. Kitri, which was stocked at retailers including M&S and Liberty, could not keep up with the volatile market.
Highlights from the final collection include linen capri pants with a ruffled hem, a lace-trim cami top, and a drop-waist yellow maxi dress. Shoppers are advised to act quickly as sizes are limited.
