Online retailer ssense filing for bankruptcy protection
Montreal-based online fashion retailer SSENESE plans to file for bankruptcy protection as its primary lenders try to force the company’s sale, a SSENSE spokesperson told CBC News in an email.
According to the company, its primary lender has placed SSENSE under the arrangement of creditors of companies (CCAA) to start sales. (Requesting CCAA conservation prevents creditors from forcing a bankrupt company in bankruptcy and paves the way for financial restructuring.)
SSENSE says his lender took this step without the company’s consent.
The statement said that now, SSENESE has planned its CCAA application “for the safety of the company, to maintain control over our property and operation and maintain a fight for the future of this business,” the statement said. “This process will give us the time and stability that is necessary for us to reorganize on our own terms, protect the interests of our employees and partners and emerge strong for the future.”
This news appears to be one for Canadian retailers Hudson Ki Bay And Frank and oak Closing its doors nationwide earlier this year.
SSENSE raised his own struggles responsible for the business instructions of US President Donald Trump, including the abolition of US day minimis exemption. The discount first allowed packages of $ 800 or less to travel to America from Canada duty-free-a major aid for Canadian retailers with a large American consumer base.
Zamindars of Hudson’s Bay Company are opposing the dialects of billionaires Ruby Liu, the landlords of the earlier properties, arguing that they ‘lack time, money, experience, or a plan to succeed,’ according to a court document.
Lisa Hutison, a retail strategist with the Canadian retail consulting firm Jessie Williams Group, said many factors can still weaken retailers.
For example, e-commerce companies, such as SSENSE, specialize in luxury brands, do not compete with only other Canadian brands; They compete with digital players around the world. Hutchisan said that the demand for luxury brands is also softening between inflation and economic uncertainty. He said that many General Z and General Alpha Shoppers like to buy things personally, they also said.
This means that, usually, there is not a single reason for running the retailer’s financial crises. “This is usually an ideal storm of operating challenges, economic pressures and what is happening in the market,” said Hutchison.
According to Hachisan, there is hope for SSENSE, but the company will have to take a look at how they can remove themselves in such a unstable market.
