Vanity filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on 1 March prior to the announcement, in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of North Dakota.

Tiger Group chief operating officer Michael McGrail said: “With roots stretching back to North Dakota in the late 1950s, Vanity is known for offering a wide selection of quality, affordable apparel, accessories and footwear targeted to fashion-conscious young females.
