Designer brands including Gucci and Anya Hindmarch have been left millions of pounds out of pocket and some customers will not get refunds after online fashion site Matchesfashion collapsed owing more than £210m last month.

Customers who bought designer items prior to the administration are not able to return items or get a refund, according to a report by administrators published on Wednesday.
