Clothing brand Joules is closing its only Isle of Wight branch, on Cowes High Street.

It is pointing customers to its website and closest branches in Whiteley, Fareham and Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth instead.

In January, Joules was reported to be making better than expected profits, though it had already closed a number of mainland branches.

Founded in 2011 and known for its designer welly boots, the brand focuses on 'clothing and homeware products inspired by British country lifestyles.'
