Neiman Marcus Throws Unsold Merchandise Back at Vendors

Luxury retailer Neiman Marcus — stung by its first holiday sales decline since the Great Recession — is spreading the pain. Drowning in designer duds and accessories that it didn’t sell during the crucial shopping season, the department store chain, which also owns Bergdorf Goodman, has asked its vendors to take back merchandise or risk not getting their fashions into the store in the future, according to sources familiar with the situation.
