Frustrated by the lack of affordable, stylish business clothing for women, Liz Claiborne started her own fashion company in 1976.
It was an immediate success. By 1988, Liz Claiborne, Inc., was a full 1/3rd of the upscale women’s sportswear market.
The company acquired numerous other smaller companies over the years and began to diversify, offering eyeglasses, perfume, purses, belts, and other accessories, as well as men’s clothing.
Liz Claiborne Inc. went public in 1981 and made the Fortune 500 list in 1986 with retail sales of $1.2 billion. This was the first company founded by a woman to make the Fortune 500 list.
Liz Claiborne herself retired from active management in 1989 but her company still going strong, despite issues with JCPenney.
Liz Claiborne maintains a corporate office in New York, New York.

Have purchased a certain kind of purse from Liz Claiborne for years and always loved them. Recently I have purchased new one and the straps stitching has fallen apart on both of them. It keeps fraying and looks terrible. What’s going on? Don’t know if I will purchase your product any longer.

Just when I finally found comfortable career pants then it disappears. I loved your Career Petite Classic and I prefer being in a store trying it on rather than buying online.

I loved the scent of Liz Claiborne and when it was changed, I couldn’t believe it. I haven’t had a good fragrance since. Why was the fragrance changed when it was so wonderful, nothing like it? It makes me sad to this day because it was changed, and not as good.
Please bring it back.

I have been to 4 JC Penney stores to find Liz Claiborne Linen Pants in Olive Green and Bright Blue in Petite L. I can’t find them in my size in those colors, if they are available through you please let me know. I need them badly.
Thank You

I have 100% cotton pillowcases used twice. When I washed them part of the fabric looks like it was dragged over a cheese grater. Any idea why? I no longer have the wrapping or receipt. They are for a guest room, not used very often. Please advise Thank you

Hi
Last week I bought a ladies night suit from JC Penny, Tallahassee, Florida and to my utmost despair, it bled on the first wash! Not something to expect from Liz Claiborne. What can you do about that?

So enjoy and look forward to your fashions seasonally. Often after purchasing clothing items I remove the sew in tag on the back of sweaters/tops/blouses/pants/etc. because of the thickness it can become scratchy/uncomfortable. Would there be an alternative to indicate brand/size? If labeling was printed inside clothing, I feel that it would also save your company money/time versus the sewn in method and be much more comfortable for the customer. Respectfully – a Liz Claiborne customer.

Hi I bought a bottle of original Liz Claiborne at Walmart I noticed it didn’t smell very good though it has been years since I have bought a bottle it just didn’t smell right soni waited a few days tried it again still not a good smellni went to take it back and it spills in my purse here the pump has a defect in it and caused to to spill out. This had to be the reason it didn’t smell very well like it went bad from not being sealed right in the bottle. Needless to say I could not return an empty bottle cause it looked like I used the whole thing. Kinda disappointed

Hi, I purchased 4.2oz of Curve for men on amazon. After waiting several weeks (backorder issues) I received my order today and to my dismay the bottle of curve did not have the tubing in the bottle so the cologne cannot be sprayed. It’s missing the tubing inside the bottle and I’m really upset. I spent a lot of money and waited a long time only to be completely disappointed.
Can someone please help me figure this out?
thankyou so much.

The towels I purchased at Penney’s in a Weathered Gray color are now light purple which doesn’t do a thing for my bathroom decor. I never use bleach or hot water so that can’t be the reason for the color change.
I purchased eight sets of towels and am pleased with the towels except for the color. The dye used for the gray needs to be researched and possibly changed. Thanks!
