The lingerie brand Maison Lejaby was placed in receivership on Tuesday by the Lyon commercial court, AFP learned on Wednesday from corroborating sources.
Maison Lejaby, based in Rillieux-la-Pape (Rhône), is a lingerie brand that currently has 55 employees, of which 30 are responsible for sales and two stores in Paris and Lyon, according to the unions. The brand also has corners in Galeries Lafayette and Bon Marché.
No job cuts announced
For the coming months “and in normal activity”, the majority shareholder “commits to providing financial support”, is specified in this same statement.
For its part, the Commercial Court of Lyon confirmed that a judicial recovery procedure had been opened with an observation period of six months. According to Olivier David, secretary of the CSE (social and economic committee) and CFDT representative of Maison Lejaby, “at the moment no job cuts have been announced, but we remain attentive to the issue of employment and wages.”
In 2020, businessman-investor Thierry Le Guénic acquired the Habitat brand, which was put into forced liquidation on December 28, 2023, as well as the London clothing brand Burton, which is bankrupt and has not found a buyer. He also took over ready-to-wear brand Paule Ka and was part of a trio of investors, including Stéphane Collaert, who bought Chevignon from Vivarte in 2019.
