Following the PK venture: Victoria's Secret in bankruptcy in Sweden
Fria Tider ^ | 1-12-23 | unattributed

Underwear giant Victoria's Secret has been shaken by controversy because of its politically correct campaigns with obese feminists. Now the Swedish business has gone bankrupt, reports Ecommerce.

The company Amarla Retail AB, which runs the Swedish company, has been hit with significant loss figures lately according to Ehandel.

The stores in the Mall of Scandinavia, the Galleria in Stockholm and Femman in Gothenburg will be open for a while. Bankruptcy manager Lars Lundberg says the plan is to "try to keep the stores open and maintain sales as before, but now under the hat of the bankruptcy estate".

Sweden is being overrun by Muslims. Maybe Victoria's Secret could save itself by selling burkas like the fashionable two-tone one shown below.

Good idea, but they might have to go with circus tents instead.

Oh dear! If VS goes bankrupt, those models may have nothing to wear!

Who coulda guessed that having a beauty item modeled by grotesque, unhealthy looking people would create a profit plunge?

What’s that thing on the far right?

This is not the Victoria’s Secret of 40 years ago.

Okay, you have Swedish women, and sexy lingerie, and you can’t make a go of it...?

And the woman poking her head in on the left side...it’s like she’s telling the photographer “Are you serious?”

I’m not VSing you guys, when we get those flyers in the mail I don’t even look at them anymore. Well, sometimes I take a pic and send it to my buddy XD XD XD

He’s single and has no good excuse to be getting those fliers in the mail. It would just be weird.

Excellent summary.

I’ll just add that as an older woman who no longer has the ‘Army Ready’ body that she had through her 30’s, I agree that we ‘mature’ gals like pretty things to wear too, but even back when I COULD have shopped there, I never did.

At that age, I had teenage nieces and Goddaughters in my life; it was a place for THEM to shop, not me.

And it was nobody’s business what I wore under my BDUs, LOL!

They lost track of that they sell sexy lingerie and fantasies, not a cause.

"Woke" kills the joy and fun in everything it looks at, the curse of Medusa in reverse.

What a dreary world the wokesters live in—a humorless world full of bullies, nags, and Karens.

Thanks. For full disclosure, my wife and I are both in our 60s and so our sexy nightwear days are well behind us. I do remember early in our marriage where I would shop there with her and let her know what I liked to see her wear. Even then she could not easily find items her size but that's my point. Victoria's was an exclusive brand and not for everybody.

With this ad campaign, they did not gain many of the clients they were seeking and they lost a lot of clients they already had because it is no longer "special."

It would be like if Rolex put out a $49 version of their watches. Suddenly wearing a Rolex would no longer be the mark of a successful man who has made it.

Always cater to your base. Basic marketing.
