Betsey Johnson Going-Out-of-Business Sale Begins

Going-out-of-business sales began Friday at all 54 retail stores in the U.S., including the store in in Novi, according to a press release. 

The fashion store filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April and liquidation sales will continue until all merchandise is gone.

Betsey Johnson, known for her iconic designs and use of bold color, opened her first retail store 30 years ago in New York City and soon expanded internationally.

Patch reader Tara Michener said on Novi Patch's Facebook page, "sad to hear that it's going out of business. I think the clothes are great-hope to make it before everything is gone. :)"

During the going-out-of-business sale, consumers will find savings of 20-50 percent on all Betsey Johnson apparel, jewelry, handbags and shoes. All store fixtures such as apparel racks, shelving and lighting are also available for sale.

All Betsey Johnson stores will honor gift cards until June 1. All sales made on or after May 11  are final.
