Luxury retailer Saks emerges from bankruptcy. John Brooke - July 21, 2026 NEW YORK, June 29 (Reuters) - Saks Global emerged from bankruptcy last week with fewer stores and a renewed focus on upscale luxury, as it looks to close a rocky chapter in its storied history. But the American department store conglomerate now faces its next battle: winning back customers in a strained luxury market and avoiding ending up back in court, a trend all too common among bankrupt brick-and-mortar retailers. Saks Global was formed through a debt-fueled merger in 2024 to encompass Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman - three mainstays of U.S. luxury fashion that have for more than a century connected American shoppers to exclusive brands. The original Saks Fifth Avenue store was opened by retail pioneer Andrew Saks in 1867. The company, now renamed Exemplar Luxury Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January after vendor payment delays and months of withheld inventory. Saks says it is on stronger financial footing after more than halving its store network to focus on its best-performing premium outlets, while largely abandoning its off-price stores. The streamlined strategy, the company says, will help it achieve its lofty financial targets, including revenue growth at a compound annual rate of 7% between fiscal years 2027 and 2030. To get there, it needs to woo back shoppers. Meanwhile, rivals Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom have jumped on Saks' troubles to bring in business. "The Saks-Neiman network has to start demonstrating positive sales," Cohen said. "Their forecasts for recovery are highly optimistic." The restructuring also slashed Saks' debt 75% to about $1.2 billion, wiped out Saks' shareholders including Amazon and handed control to its senior lenders. Leverage for essential brands. Saks' biggest luxury vendors already enjoyed a leg up throughout the bankruptcy proceedings, securing exclusive payouts for pre-bankruptcy claims while many smaller brands have been left with little recourse, according to four people with direct knowledge of the payments. The dynamic reflects the sway that leading luxury brands will continue to hold as Saks zeroes in on high-end retail. Saks also ended its e-commerce partnership with Amazon during the bankruptcy proceedings as part of its shift away from mass-market shopping. High-end designer and luxury is "the space that they understand best," said Gary Wassner, the CEO of Hilldun, a factoring firm that guarantees orders for about 180 Saks vendors. Jonathan Saven, the CEO of luxury women's fashion brand L'Agence, said he trusts Saks' new management team to operate the company successfully. Many smaller luxury brands, however, are poised to get the short end of the stick. One Saks vendor, who is owed at least $20,000 in unpaid invoices, said he has not recovered any of his pre-bankruptcy claims - and he has given up on the prospect of getting the money back. The company said nearly half of the vendors that were offered recovery on pre-petition claims were small and independent designers and brands. Saks is keeping hundreds of agreements that let vendors lease space in its department stores or retain control of their products until they are sold, court filings show. Now, some brands that do not yet have these so-called concession and consignment agreements are hoping to sign them, according to three sources familiar with vendors' plans. But it could tee up a fresh battle. Wholesale makes up 75% of Saks' business, a company spokesperson said - a model that "will account for an even larger share of our revenue going forward." The company said it "regularly" works with brands on joint strategies but will keep prioritizing wholesale. Concession and consignment deals could also further box out smaller and emerging brands. "It's not a fair system," said Thomai Serdari, a luxury brand strategist and marketing professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. "It favors brands that have more capital available."
Decorative design or brand identifier?: Chrome Hearts v. Nordstrom. July 21, 2026 Rania V. Sedhom is managing partner at Sedhom Law Group If you are a fan of Chrome Hearts, then you are familiar with their signature cross designs. When you see one of the crosses Chrome Hearts utilizes, can you identify it as Chrome Hearts or do you simply see a cross? Chrome Hearts is suing Nordstrom for copyright infringement, accusing Nordstrom of selling belts and jewelry with cross-shaped motifs that are substantially similar to the Chrome Hearts aesthetic. Of course, no company or individual can own the image of a cross. However, a company or individual may be able to exclusively own a specific cross-motif that identifies the brand. Think of Cartier and its Panthère: Cartier does not exclusively own the right to use panthers in advertising or in jewelry, but it does have the exclusive right to use its specific Panthère. The Chrome Hearts lawsuit illustrates how a decorative design can be source-identifying. Chrome Hearts registered the CH Cross and CH Plus designs, used them consistently for decades, extensively advertised them, and received celebrity endorsements and adoption. Therefore, it argues, it is a recognizable trademark to consumers. Are the hearts utilized in the alleged infringing designs causing confusion or false brand affiliation? Chrome Hearts believes so and alleges that its erroneous affiliation with Nordstrom will lead to dilution of the value of its trademark. Nordstrom will likely argue that the cross is a decorative design element that consumers do not perceive as source identifiers of Chrome Hearts. The case was filed on June 4, 2026, in California. It will be interesting to see whether the outcome of this case differs from that of Richemont v. Malidani Jewelry, where Richemont accused Malidani Jewelry, a jeweler on 47th Street in Manhattan, of diluting its brand by creating jewelry featuring the Alhambra motif of Van Cleef & Arpels. While the Richemont case is about superfakes, it touches and concerns some of the same issues as the Chrome Hearts case - consumer confusion and dilution of trademark value. In both cases, the alleged infringing products did not utilize the brand names. Nordstrom did not sell the items as Chrome Hearts items and Malidani did not sell its for-leaf clover style talisman as a Van Cleef & Arpels. In the meantime, what do you think?
