The retailer serves customers through its stores and online channels. Claire's is recognized as a major player in the jewelry and accessories sector. The business model combines brick‑and‑mortar retail with digital commerce.

In April 2020 the company suffered a MageCart attack on its e‑commerce platform. Attackers injected malicious code into the checkout process to capture payment card data. A spoofed domain was used to exfiltrate the stolen information from both the Claire's website and its Icing subsidiary site. The compromise affected online transactions over a multi‑week period while in‑store payments remained unaffected. After discovering the breach, Claire's removed the malicious script and strengthened its platform security. It notified payment networks, law enforcement, and advised potentially affected customers to monitor their accounts. The incident underscores the retailer's focus on securing its online sales channel. Structurally, the organization includes the Icing subsidiary, as indicated by the reference to the subsidiary's site in the breach description. Claire's is headquartered in the United States, completing the basic profile.
