In other retail news, Victoria’s Secret’s sales struggled all through 2017—and this year is off to a bad start, too. The brand blamed its initial declining sales on dropping its swimwear and apparel categories, but they have yet to rebound a year and a half later. With declines continuing, some are looking at increased competition from indie retailers like True & Co. and big brands like Madewell—which recently launched its own intimates line.
