Convergence: Seven CEOs Agree
Aug 20 1998 12:00 AM PDT
PROFILE |
 |
Designs' fortunes have not gone according to design. With an ill-fated venture into private-label clothing behind it, Designs is now selling closeout and irregular merchandise from Levi Strauss & Co. The firm has more than 100 outlet stores in the eastern US and Puerto Rico under the Levi's Outlet by Designs and Dockers Outlet by Designs names. (The company has closed its Buffalo Jeans Factory Stores.) Designs liquidated its Boston Traders private-label line; some angry shareholders attempted to replace most of the board of directors, which countered by considering a sale of the company. (The offer has since been withdrawn.) Jewelcor Management, one of the mutinous shareholders, owns 18% of Designs.
