From the administrators' statement
Du Barry was founded in 1979 by Andrew King trading from a shop in Cathedral Close, Exeter.
Subsequently shops were established in Truro, Bath and Torquay, and concessions in Winchester and Clevedon (Avon). The concessions, Bath and Torquay shops were subsequently closed, prior to the Company being incorporated in 2002, with Andrew and Caroline King as Directors.
Further shops were opened in Topsham, Lymington and Ringwood. These traded satisfactorily prior to the onset of the last recession. With trading conditions becoming more difficult, a series of disposals saw the closure of shops in Lymington, Ringwood and Exeter, with business continuing in Topsham and Truro.
