The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has allowed Amazon’s acquisition of The Book Depository.

Kurt Geiger steps into accessories Friday, 12th August 2011
“Everything but the Dress” encompasses hairpins, handbags, rings, iPad case and knitwear pieces, amongst other fashion items.
“We’re not just creating a few handbags,” Kurt Geiger chief executive Neil Clifford told WWD. “This project has been two-and-a-half years in the making, and we’ve created everything in-house.”
Clifford said that 90% of the Everything but the Dress collection will cost less than the brand’s shoe range.
The collection will be available “imminently,” a spokesperson said, in a new flagship store on Mayfair’s Grafton Street and on the brand’s freshly overhauled website.
