But fear not, fans of the USA-made ready-to-wear brand: the Westfield La Part-Dieu shopping center store will remain open.

A setback partly explained by the controversies surrounding parent company Abercrombie & Fitch, accused of discriminatory hiring practices and only offering clothes for "thin and beautiful" people.
So, the Spanish giant Stradivarius will take over. A brand that opened its first store in Lyon in early 2023...within the Westfield La Part-Dieu shopping center.
