Victoria Beckham’s clothing range ‘is being sold for up to 70 per cent off after her company racked up debts of £53.9m sparking doubts over its future’
Victoria Beckham’s designer buys are now being sold for up 70 per cent off on a luxury online discount store, after it was reported her company has debts of £53.9million.
The 48-year-old fashion designer launched her fashion label in 2008 with a small collection of dresses, but in recent days it’s been claimed the brand is well into the red with heavy losses.
Now, it’s been revealed that some of Victoria’s products are being sold at a heavy discount, with one dress reduced by nearly £1,300.

But now the brand faces an uncertain future as a spokeswoman for Victoria confirmed the figures for her fashion label with The Mirror.
Luxury online discount store The Outnet has slashed prices on Victoria’s pieces, with the discounts being increased from the usual 30 per cent off to a whopping 70 per cent.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Victoria for comment.
A report said: ‘Total revenues for the Victoria Beckham Holdings group fell 6% to £36.1m (2019 – £38.3m) due to the effects of the global pandemic.
‘This group rapidly responded to the effects of the pandemic and controlled its cash and expenditure which led to a significant reduction in its operating losses by 57%, thanks to cost efficiencies across the business and the recalibration of its business model to make it sustainable for the longer term.

In accounts submitted in 2021, auditors warned of ‘significant doubt’ about Victoria’s fashion company’s ability to continue operating when it was reported that the company had racked up debts of more than £46 million since it launched.
Friends of the star said at the time that she is determined to continue with her company even though her detractors have dismissed it as a vanity project.
One said: ‘This is what gives Victoria her identity, she loves it and despite its obvious obstacles, she is a grafter and hugely passionate about it.’

In February 2021, it emerged that Mrs Beckham’s beauty range she set up in 2019 had suffered a loss of £4.7 million.
A spokeswoman for Mrs Beckham said: ‘Whilst 2019 was a challenging year, the business halved its losses – a significant step in the road to profitability. The launch of the hugely successful beauty line in the same year helped drive overall revenues up 7% on 2018 and both businesses are focussed on profitable growth.
‘The showcase of the recent AW21 fashion collection has been well-received by fashion critics and the beauty business has seen multiple sell-out products in recent months.’
