Frasers Group swoops in to buy Harvey Nichols for $40 million, stepping in as the luxury retailer teeters on collapse. Amid fears self-employed staff like personal shoppers might be left unpaid, Frasers vows to pay them within 72 hours — even though it’s not legally their duty. This follows a rocky past with Matchesfashion, where Frasers’ acquisition led to a $36M debt pile-up for top brands. The store’s site is down during transition, online refunds and gift cards are paused — customers must contact administrator FTI Consulting. Once a nineties fashion icon, Harvey Nichols now battles five years of losses, pandemic fallout, and shifting luxury retail tides.
