Debenhams, which has long struggled to compete with fierce online competition, will see its brand live on however after British online fashion group Boohoo earlier said it had bought the group’s intellectual property assets.

Boohoo, which is also buying the brands Maine, Manataray, Principles and Faith, said the remaining stores will be wound down when they are in a position to reopen.
