UK womenswear retailer LK Bennett entered administration on January 27, 2026, with its brand and intellectual property sold to a Gordon Brothers-affiliated company while its retail operations were excluded. Administrators cleared stock through discounts of at least 60%, but sales ran faster than expected and all nine standalone stores and 13 concessions in the UK and Ireland have now closed, reflecting wider pressures and restructuring across Britain’s retail sector.
