Sales at international business down 13 per cent
International clothing retailer Gap has reported a fall in sales during the five weeks to October 1.

Turnover at Gap International was hardest hit, with sales down 13 per cent for the period compared with a 10 per cent decrease last year.

Total sales for September at Gap's North American arm fell by 3 per cent, versus a 2 per cent drop last year.

Gap senior vice-president for treasury and investor relations Sabrina Simmons said: 'September sales results were very disappointing because we faced continued challenges with traffic and product performance across all brands.'
