Lord & Taylor

What Lord & Taylor does

Lord & Taylor is a historic American department store brand founded in 1826 that today operates exclusively as an online off-price luxury marketplace at lordandtaylor.com, following bankruptcy in 2020, store closures in 2021, and successive intellectual-property transfers to Saadia Group and then Regal Brands Global in 2024. The relaunched storefront offers curated women's, men's, accessories, jewelry, shoes, and home merchandise from more than 300 designer brands — including Gucci, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Valentino, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, and Marc Jacobs — alongside the proprietary Heritage Collection private label launched in July 2024 (168 pieces priced from $100 to $1,000) and an authenticated Pre-Loved resale channel.

The platform's core mechanics are a third-party luxury marketplace (carrying designer brands at up to 70% off list), first-party private-label sales of the Heritage Collection, and explored licensing into footwear and hosiery. Pricing and fulfilment features include free worldwide shipping with import duties included, complimentary shipping on orders above $300, and a broad price ladder from $100 entry-level pieces to $3,000-plus designer items. Management is also pursuing wholesale distribution of the Heritage Collection to European luxury boutiques and brick-and-mortar concept stores.

The business model derives revenue from marketplace transactions on third-party designer goods, unit sales of Heritage Collection inventory, and potential future licensing royalties; the Pre-Loved channel adds authenticated resale volume and supports sustainability-oriented positioning. The target customer is the luxury-conscious consumer seeking off-price value, plus a secondary segment of sustainability-oriented buyers drawn to authenticated resale. The parent is Regal Brands Global, a private operator with no disclosed funding rounds or financial statements.
