J.Crew has been in talks with a group of lenders for several weeks since the company was forced to cancel plans to take its Madewell subsidiary public, people familiar with the matter said. The company had planned to use the proceeds of the Madewell IPO to pay down part of its $1.7 billion debt. But the IPO plans were scrapped in March.
A deal hasn’t been reached with lenders and the retailer’s board hasn’t signed off on any plan, one of the people said. A filing could come as soon as this weekend, some of the people said.
Neiman Marcus Group Ltd. LLC is also in the process of fin

"All of a sudden luggage has become one of the fastest-growing accessory categories,” explained Beth Goldstein, the fashion footwear and accessories industry analyst at market-research firm NPD Group. While this quote explains that luggage is likely driving any increases in accessories, it doesn't specify how the overall segment is doing. (Ex. Face masks were huge and drove skincare increases at times, but skincare sales were still a small portion of the makeup category.)
Many luggage brands have capitalized on the streetwear hype by collaborating with brands like Supreme, O
This article is all over the place. Tl;dr: LV is opening a permanent factory in Texas. (LV has been producing goods in a temporary facility in Texas since 2017.)
Here are key points I picked out that I think are worth discussing (emphasis mine, ellipses excluded for readability):
Unlike Louis Vuitton products from France, the Texas bags won’t be produced by “petites mains,” the French artisans at the center of the brand’s history and mystique. Instead, Louis Vuitton is recruiting and training employees locally, no experience needed. Candidates passing drug and manual-dexterity tests ca

I got this bag at a Nordstrom Anniversary sale maybe 5 years ago and forgot I had it for the past three years soooo it's time to go. Because it's limited edition it's hard to find a comparison online, but the Le Pliage Cuir is similar
Sale final. Priority given to whoever sends payment first.
The company using this isn't mentioned, but I think it's really interesting that businesses other than Amazon are utilizing this. I'd heard rumors of something similar when I worked in market research, but it seemed more crude and seemed to be geared towards foot traffic (aka large bodies, not faces or ethnicities).

If you haven’t heard of them, Adore Me started out as a subscription based lingerie brand and gained popularity by offering a wide range of sizes.
But it turns out they’re another shady subscription service that made it hard to cancel your membership, similar to Sole Society before they were bought out.
Adore Me took unused credit amounts away from consumers who cancelled their memberships or initiated chargebacks with financial institutions to dispute their transactions with the company. Despite discontinuing this practice in May 2016, the company has not made full refunds t
Do you think this is ethical? Unthetical? Is this a good time to talk about disclosing sponsored ads in published pieces and on social media?
Post what you're looking for below!
An ideal comment would include: what article of clothing and size you're looking for, your price range (and does this include shipping?), and your shipping country.
Ex. ISO a black fit and flare Kensie dress size M. Price range is ~$100 incl shipping. Ship to US.
Ex. ISO a white denim jacket size 6. Price range is $50 not incl shipping. Ship to AUS, willing to discuss shipping prices if shipping internationally

I was disappointed at first when I clicked on the shop link - there looked to be only one model used for all the shots despite what the article said. Once you click in, it gives you several models in the clothing.
The product line is limited since the brand is still new, but hopefully they'll be able to expand in the future
