LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - British online fashion retailer
Boohoo said on Monday it had bought the Dorothy Perkins, Wallis
and Burton brands from the administrators of Arcadia for 25.2
million pounds ($34.6 million) completing the break-up of Philip
Green's fallen empire.
Like rival ASOS's purchase last month of Arcadia's
prized Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and HIIT brands, Boohoo's
deal does not include any stores, putting thousands of
jobs at risk.
