Overview
- LK Bennett, which told shoppers on Wednesday that four days remained, is shutting nine standalone shops and 13 concessions after stopping online orders.
- Administrators appointed in January sold the brand and intellectual property to LKB IP Holdings LLC, a Gordon Brothers affiliate, while the physical estate was left out.
- Stores are running closing‑down sales that advertise up to 90% off shoes and at least 80% off other items, according to the retailer’s Instagram posts.
- The website now displays a notice that web and phone ordering are closed, and it says existing online orders will still be fulfilled.
- The closures put store teams at risk in a broader retail pattern where investors keep brand rights but cut costly storefronts facing higher bills and weaker footfall.
