Macy's - Private Brands

Private Brands

Macy's has a large portfolio of private brands that it produces for exclusive sale within its stores. These brands, which are advertised in store as "Only at Macy's", account for 20% of the company's sales. The merchandise in each brand is designed to appeal to different demographics and customers. Bar III, the most recent addition to the company's portfolio, was launched in Spring 2011. Some of Macy's private brands are sold internationally in non-competing department stores.

Macy's distinguishes its private brands from its labels. This difference is "subtle but important." Macy's private brands have fully developed brand profiles targeted to specific consumers and are supported with national advertising and branded in-store environments. A label is just that: a name attached to a category of merchandise that fills a niche in Macy's assortments.

Macy's private labels include:

  • Greendog:
  • John Asford:
  • Morgan Taylor:
  • The Cellar:
  • Via Europa:
  • Holiday Lane:
  • Karen Scott:
  • Studio Silver:
  • Tools of the Trade:

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or brands:

    “Eddie: Who are you soldier?
    Philip Marlowe: Marlowe’s my name. I’m a private detective.”
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    “On the other side, the conservative party, composed of the most moderate, able, and cultivated part of the population, is timid, and merely defensive of property. It vindicates no right, it aspires to no real good, it brands no crime, it proposes no generous policy, it does not build, nor write, nor cherish the arts, nor foster religion, nor establish schools, nor encourage science, nor emancipate the slave, nor befriend the poor, or the Indian, or the immigrant.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
