Sayonara Kitson
Los Angeles–based fashion boutique chain, Kitson, announced on Thursday that it will close all of its 17 stores in Nevada, Oregon, and California, as well as its online retail site. Kitson came to prominence in the early 2000s because of its celebrity clientele that included Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and reality TV personalities from “The Hills.”
In recent years as some of its celebrity clientele went out of vogue and the country’s jobless recovery, Kitson started falling on hard times. In 2013 Kitson received a $15 million credit line from Salus Capital Partners to refinance its debts, and according to the Wall Street Journal this summer, Spencer Spirit Holdings Inc. agreed to extend a loan to Kitson to pay down the loan to Salus.
According to a fashionmag.com article, Kitson has been advertising a 30% to 50% sale on its online retail site of product in all of its retail stores.
