Vera Bradley is reconsidering its business practices, concentrating on licensing rather than physical stores. Instead, the company considers selling home goods via retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond and Macy’s. It also intends to close up to 50 of its 110 shops by 2021. Many of the leases are set to expire at that time. However, there are still 52 Vera Bradley manufacturing outlets open for business, making it feasible to visit a real shop.

Henri Bendel

Henri Bendel closed all of its 24 shops throughout the country in early 2020. The parent company, L Brands, then announced in the autumn of 2018 that the whole brand, including its website and iconic Fifth Avenue store, will be shut down. Instead, the business concentrated its efforts on other brands with more promise, such as Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works.
