A POPULAR clothing story in Limerick City is set to close its doors for a final time after entering liquidation.
Born Clothing, located at the Parkway Shopping Centre in Limerick City, announced it would be calling it a day in the coming weeks.

“We want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support over the years – for shopping with us, supporting us, and being part of our journey. It has meant more than we can ever put into words.
“To our wonderful team, thank you for being the heart and soul of our business. Your loyalty and dedication will always be appreciated.”
The business announced closing down sales as operations begin to wind down.
