Industry Eye: Catalogers’ Updates & People on the Move

• Multibrand women’s apparel merchant Talbots in August said it would close its Hingham, Mass.-based call center as part of a restructuring process following the company’s May acquisition of J. Jill. The action eliminates 150 call center positions.

• Multi-title cataloger Redcats USA has changed the name of its Lerner Catalog to metrostyle. A metrostyle-titled Web site for the women’s apparel brand has been in place since May, although the Lerner print catalog name won’t be completely phased out until the end of the year.
