Real estate used to be a fallback asset for troubled retailers: Lord & Taylor sold its flagship store to WeWork. But a spate of bankrupt apparel chains shows the sector’s last ditch for value is on the fritz, says jennifersaba.

Lord & Taylor filed for bankruptcy on Aug. 2. Fashion rental service startup Le Tote acquired the apparel chain last year from Saks Fifth Avenue owner Hudson’s Bay for around $74 million.

Hudson’s Bay agreed in 2017 to sell Lord & Taylor’s Manhattan flagship building to WeWork for $850 million. Other retailers including Brooks Brothers, Neiman Marcus, J.C. Penney and J.Crew filed for Chapter 11 this year.
