Retailer of bags and luggage, Bags Etc, has entered liquidation with the result that all 350 jobs have been lost with immediate effect. The business, which was headquartered in Harlow, also traded as Domo operated across 58 sites. A spokesperson for the liquidators confirmed that the staff had been made redundant and commented that the location of some of the stores in suburban shopping outlets coupled with the move towards more internet based shopping had largely been responsible for the demise of the business.
