Lord & Taylor launches Heritage private-label collection
Lord & Taylor has released a private-label line called the Heritage Collection, available for now through its online marketplace and priced roughly from $100 to $1,000. Regal Brands Global, which purchased Lord & Taylor’s intellectual property in late 2024 from Saadia Group, said the launch is part of a broader plan to expand the brand via licensing, wholesale to global boutiques and possible distribution to off-price retailers. Lord & Taylor’s Chief Strategy Officer Sina Yenel described the collection as a return to the retailer’s historic owned-brand strategy and said this is only the “first chapter,” with a potential future return to smaller, local brick-and-mortar concepts. The company also said it continues to invest in proprietary technology that powers its marketplace.
