                          CHRISTMAS TRADING STATEMENT
                                RETAIL DIVISION


Ted Baker, the British designer brand, is pleased to announce a 10.7%
improvement in sales in its retail division for the period from 1 November 2005
to 24 December 2005 against the same period last year. The brand traded well
across all collections both in the UK and overseas. Full price retail gross
margins were largely in line with the levels achieved last year.  Ted Baker will
start the new season with a clean stock position.

We expect to announce our preliminary results for the 52 weeks to 28 January
2006 on Wednesday 22 March 2006.

Commenting on trading, Ray Kelvin, Chief Executive, said:

"We are pleased to report strong sales growth both in the UK and overseas
despite a tough retail environment. We remain committed to the international
development of the Ted Baker brand and are confident of a successful outcome for
the full year."
