It is understood that while the plans have not been finalised, it is the current intention for the business to close all of its shops, according to sources.

The fashion giant has 71 stores in the UK after 15 closed shortly after it entered administration in April.

No Ordinary Designer Label (NODL), which trades under the Ted Baker brand, filed a notice of intention to appoint Teneo Financial Advisory as administrators in March.

A few weeks later in April, it was confirmed that 15 Ted Baker stores would shut, resulting in about 245 job losses.

While the Kent stores were not at risk then, they could close for good amid the latest reports for the fashion retailer’s future, which has been reported by The Sun.

It is not know when stores could close.
