SuperDry owner SuperGroup said its internet sales rose by 243.3% over Christmas.

The fashion retailer said the explosive online growth accompanied a 93.6% rise in retail sales to £51.7m in the nine weeks to January 2 2011.

Meanwhile total group sales, including wholesale, rose by 90.1% to £65.1m.

Chief executive Julian Dunkerton said: “This performance demonstrates the strength of our band and the loyalty of our customers.
