Item 9.   Regulation FD Disclosure

     Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is a copy of a new Financial Section which will replace the existing Financial Section to the presentation (the “Presentation”) that Claire’s Stores, Inc. (the “Registrant”) has used and intends to use from time to time in presentations to investors or others, that was originally attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Registrant’s Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2002. The information contained in the Presentation is not “filed” pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act and is not incorporated by reference into any of the Registrant’s Securities Act registration statements. Additionally, the submission of this Form 8-K is not an admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

     Please note that the Presentation contains “forward-looking statements” which represent the Registrant’s expectations or beliefs with respect to future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Those factors include, without limitation, changes in consumer preferences and consumer spending for pre-teen and teen apparel and accessories, competition, general economic conditions and uncertainties generally associated with the specialty retailing business. These and other applicable risks, cautionary statements and factors that could cause actual results to differ from the Registrant’s forward-looking statements are included in the Registrant’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically as described in the Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002. The Registrant undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. The historical results contained in the Presentation are not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the Registrant.
