Liz Claiborne's styles and quality has plummeted in the past decade, especially in the Woman division. Selections are so small, there's only a few styles at any one time from which to select. I imagine this will extend to handbags and accessories also (there's quite a range of style and quality but nothing that can't be replaced with another brand) and there's a men's division called Claiborne which probably will go too (their styles are nice). In all, good news for Macy's. This is good news for Macy’s, who can now free up more floor space for better goods.

I was in one of JCP's new style stores that opened recently this past weekend. I was very unimpressed It didn't even hold a cancel to Kohl's, which is far below Macy's. Both Kohl's and JCP are constantly on sale. I'd like to see what there sales would be without as many sales. I am sure dismal. Macy’s has nothing to worry about.
