Retail Matters Podcast: Luxury on the Clearance Rack: The Saks Global Meltdown

Research output: Non-textual formDigital or Visual Products

Abstract

Saks’ filing is the latest and largest in a string of bankruptcies by luxury retailers that have left the industry reeling and forced some small brands to shut down.

The luxury retailer said it has secured $1.75 billion in financing, with $1.5 billion from a group of senior secured bondholders and approximately $240 million in incremental liquidity from asset-based lenders.

Stores and e-commerce for all Saks Global properties will remain open, while Saks expects to receive approval to make go-forward payments to vendors and continue employee payroll and benefits.
