Boohoo rebrands as Debenhams

Online fashion retailer Boohoo is renaming to Debenhams, the department store brand it bought out of administration four years ago. Boohoo’s sales from its young fashion labels dropped by more than a fifth amid significant competition from other fast fashion retailers like Shein and Temu. CEO Dan Finley said sales for Boohoo, as well as Man and Pretty Little Thing, slid by 21% to £947 million (about $1.2 billion). The company said the turnaround of Debenhams provided the blueprint for a revival of Boohoo and Pretty Little Thing, so it has decided to immediately rebrand itself as Debenhams Group. Debenhams includes the labels Wallis, Burton, Misspap, Coast, Oasis, Dorothy Perkins and Warehouse, which Boohoo said have been turned around. {The Guardian}

Hudson’s Bay Co. cites Trump tariffs in bankruptcy filing

Canadian department store Hudson’s Bay Co. filed for the equivalent of bankruptcy protection on Friday, citing the Trump administration’s tariff policy and a difficult post-pandemic consumer environment. The retailer operates 80 Hudson’s Bay, three Saks Fifth Avenue and 13 Saks Off 5th stores in Canada. Hudson’s Bay Co. faces “an urgent liquidity crisis,” with liabilities above the threshold for protection. It’s unable to pay suppliers and “will be unable to fund payroll within a matter of days.” Approximately 9,400 people work at the three banners. On Friday the court approved 16 million Canadian dollars in debtor-in-possession financing from lenders including Restore Capital. {Retail Dive}

Can D.S. & Durga go global?

David and Kavi Moltz founded fragrance brand D.S. & Durga in 2008 with the idea of using storytelling often found in song lyrics and creating sleek, modern packaging, both of which won them a cult following in the indie fragrance space. In early 2024, Manzanita Capital acquired a majority stake in D.S. & Durga for an undisclosed sum and now that the brand is flush with resources, the Moltzes are focused on preserving what made D.S. & Durga a cult favorite as it scales. The brand is projected to grow its global retail sales to between $40 million to $50 million by year end, with the Manzanita investment earmarked for expanding the brand’s retail footprint, supporting international growth and hiring new talent. The Moltzes are expected to open their first non-U.S. store in London in the next few years, and in the meantime, they hope to increase their awareness in the U.S., especially in cities such as Austin and Chicago, with targeted social campaigns and community activations. {Business of Fashion/paywalled}

Roberto Cavalli and LeSportsac launch handbag collaboration

Roberto Cavalli is teaming up with LeSportsac on a collection of handbags combining LeSportsac’s craftsmanship with Roberto Cavalli’s “wild glamour.” Ranging in price from $295 to $525, the collaboration includes four groups inspired by Roberto Cavalli signatures as well as classic and updated LeSportsac shapes: Mini Zebra (zebra print), Freedom Run (reminiscent of tiger stripes and Japanese etchings), Matelassé (featuring a sewing technique referencing Roberto Cavalli’s animal prints) and Puffy (a soft, padded design in multiple colorways). Spring 2025 marks the first of four collaborative collections. “When I connected with LeSportsac, I wanted to use the collaboration as a way to think about a Cavalli way to carry something on the subway in New York or to Coachella or to Burning Man,” Roberto Cavalli Creative Director Fausto Puglisi said in a statement. “Ultimately, we created something democratic, easy and young.” LeSportsac x Roberto Cavalli is now available worldwide at Neiman Marcus, LeSportsac and Roberto Cavalli stores globally and online at both robertocavalli.com and lesportsac.com. {Fashionista inbox}
