And another one's gone

Best & Co. has closed. The Greenwich, CT store has shut down and filed for bankruptcy after 12 years of being in business. Best & Co. was founded by Susie Hilfiger, ex-wife of Tommy, after she decided to revive the Best & Co. brand, which sold clothes in the eastern United States from 1879 to 1971. Besides the store in Greenwich, Best & Co. also had a boutique in NYC's Bergdorf Goodman. That too is now closed, as is their website. I have no idea what will happen to all the merchandise, but it doesn't look like it will be one sale online. The stores are now closed completely as well.
