Claire’s is currently owned by a private investment firm called Ames Watson. The company took control as part of efforts to restructure the business and reduce its debt. Private equity ownership means the brand is managed with a focus on improving performance and profitability. Claire’s has gone through several ownership changes over the years. Despite these changes, the brand itself has stayed recognizable to customers. The new ownership aims to keep the company running while adapting to modern retail trends. So while ownership has shifted, the brand still operates globally.
