Ralph Lauren Corp.'s effort to streamline and restructure its business, which includes cutting back its exposure in department stores and reducing shipments to off-price channels, is beginning to pay off.

Defying stubborn department store and mall traffic weakness — and after an abysmal start to the retail year — consumers are loosening their purse strings, just in time for the critical holiday season.

Despite Amazon’s dominating impact on retail, retailers can win back shoppers by exploiting the online giant’s weaknesses.

Sears is offering customers deep discounts as the holiday selling season starts to kick in.

Korean skin care and beauty brand Peach & Lily has opened a pop-up shop "experience" at Bergdorf Goodman's iconic Fifth Avenue New York City flagship.
