Hilco Merchant Resources and Gordon Brothers Group announced today that the store closing sales for Los Angeles-based, Kitson, at all 14 locations throughout California, Oregon, and Nevada will end as soon as January 18th and some locations may even close sooner!

Merchandise that was initially offered at 30% off is now up to 70% or more off of original prices. These are extraordinary discounts on all of Kitson’s trendy, high fashion apparel, gifts and novelty merchandise. Store fixtures, furniture, and equipment are also available in all stores.

Opened in 2000, Kitson launched many local designers and brands, nurturing them to great success and also supported local manufacturing and charitable events. Kitson stores became magnets for celebrities and consumers seeking the latest must have apparel and accessory items, often offered exclusively at Kitson, along with apothecary, books, gifts and novelty items.

A spokesperson for the joint venture said, “Now at 50-70% off of retail pricing, the Kitson store closing sales present a rare opportunity for its loyal shoppers to purchase more of this legendary merchandise before it is no longer available.”
