Hawico closes Harrogate shop after 28 years
A cashmere clothes shop in Harrogate has closed after 28 years.
Hawico on Montellier Parade was the first Hawico shop outside Scotland when it opened in 1995.
It has now closed, with the loss of two jobs, and the unit is vacant.
David Sanderson, a director of Hawico, said the company had been considering the shop's future for some time. He added:
Mr Sanderson said trade at the store had got "harder and harder" in recent years, especially since covid.

Hawico, a family business that makes clothes at a factory in Hawick, Scotland has 10 stores in Scotland, Switzerland, Germany and Italy.
Mr Sanderson said the site of the Harrogate shop was previously owned by another Scottish clothing company and the unit had provided "a little bit of Scotland in Harrogate for some time".
It is the latest loss to Harrogate's high street after the closure of Bijouled, which sold gifts and accessories on Parliament Street and fast fashion brand New Look, which was based in the Victoria Shopping Centre.
Bijouled is now closed
