What Happened to 9West?

[mskim61]

I was looking at the Fall arrivals on their website and when I went to the local retail store to check them out I found their doors were closed. I checked their online store locator and found they closed the 3 closest stores to me Sad for me since they helped me in my early years of heeling since they were one of a few stores that offered size 11. Another victim of the current economic situation I guess!

That's too bad. Hopefully Nine West doesn't go to the wayside. I haven't bought any heels from there lately, but I have 3 identical pairs of ankle strap sandals (black, red, brown) that I've found straight up sexy.

I've heard that they are doing quite a bit of belt-tightening in these tough economic times, and they will soon be changing their name to Eight West. Steve

They closed the store in Louisville as well.

Looking at their financials its not pretty:

I've noticed over the last few times I've 'passed' by the Nine West store, the 75% off sale has been present over a 2+ week time span.

The one closest to me (30 miles away!) is still open. I've used their website quite a bit because the only store is so far away.

Nine west may be closing some slower stores,

but they ares till carrying a lot of new styles, and many

in sizes 11 and 12 on their website.

Here is a nice short video of a new style which comes in size 12.
