Crawshaws had more than 50 stores in the Midlands and north of England.
In October the firm said it did not have “sufficient cash resources” and closed 35 stores along with a distribution centre shedding 350 jobs.

The collapse of Crawshaws came after several years of financial losses.
According to its latest set of results for the six months to 29 July, the group posted revenue of £21.6m and a pre-tax loss of £1.7m.
Following the sale, administrators EY are set to assess how the proceeds of the sale are to be divided between creditors.
Shares in AIM-listed (junior stock market) Crawshaws remain suspended and its stock will be cancelled following the deal.
The Yorkshire business opened in 1954.
