Claire's jewelry store chain has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company previously filed Chapter 11 in 2018; most of its stores will stay open.

The fashion accessory and jewellery chain has filed for bankruptcy protection with a court in the state of Delaware - its second such filing since 2018.

Once ubiquitous for ear piercing at the mall, Claire’s faced financial volatility along with other bricks-and-mortar retailers. It last filed for bankruptcy in 2018.
