10 brands that won't be around in 2012

KSP:
they have many local labels not seen in singapore
perhaps ppl here not as romantic....pinky:
wonder why french dept stores didnt do well here :?
price? or the choice of merchandise?
their design and colour cordination for kids' clothings is always very nice
used to pick up some everytime I passed through Paris
i think their pricing is an issue and being not in big number here, they can't compete -
there used to be a HK based dept store that was at Wheelock Place but closed down too, can't remember the name though but it was those high-end store type. :oops:

Or were they at the place where borders is in now ???? The blooding place. I recalled buying my prom dress from there.
I think they started off at Le Meridien, then close down, then shifted to where Borders was. Something like that. -
"there used to be a HK based dept store that was at Wheelock Place but closed down too"
it was Lane crawford with a pair of crescent shape escalators on the entrance facing far east shopping centre -
I recalled Galaries Lafayette was first at United Sq before moving to Liat towers.
Primtemps was at lemeridian hotel.
Isetan havelock moved to orchard.
Not sure if I’m correct, there was a Shui Hing department store which was supposedly from New York, which was located at current 7 storey Courts Orchard.
Really miss all these old stores. -

Don't remember this at all! There's a Shui Hing in HK. Isn't Shui Hing from HK rather than NY?I recalled Galaries Lafayette was first at United Sq before moving to Liat towers.

Guess Shui Hing is from HK, but styled after NY shopping experience.
I remember vaguely that it was very classy, but was in Spore only for a short while. Think it was in the 80’s. -

ah yes, thank you for your reply. I think it is still doing well in HK now. I do agree that we were not ready for the high price and the fashion then.\"there used to be a HK based dept store that was at Wheelock Place but closed down too\"

Anyone remember our local dept store chain Emporium Holdings with their Oriental and Plaza dept stores in the 80s?
