A bag shop that has been serving customers for more than 100 years is to close.
Rickards of Bath on Northumberland Place is to close at the beginning of March.
The shop opened in the city in 1910. At the time the family-run firm also had its own factory in Bath.
Current owners, Simon and Elaine Rogers, said in a statement that the internet had created too much competition.
Mr Rogers, whose family have owned the business for the past 60 years, said: "Retail has changed dramatically over the last ten years and has become much harder during the recession. The increase in online trading, rising overheads and high business rates have all added to our decision.
"We feel fortunate to have had such a successful business for so long but have now had enough and feel it is time for us to move on.
"The reaction from the public has been extraordinary, their kind words and support have been overwhelming.
Our staff have also been supportive and understanding which we very much appreciate."
The closure will see the loss of three jobs.
