American Apparel to relaunch e-commerce site

US fashion retailer American Apparel, which filed for bankruptcy last year, is set to start selling goods online again as it gets set to relaunch its website next week.

Since purchasing the struggling brand for $88 million earlier this year, Canadian brand Glidan Activewear has taken over the production of clothing and increased the number of shipments to wholesalers. Coupled with the website relaunch, the company is also targeting a boost in exports and retail partnerships.

In the UK, the retailer closed 13 stores following its fall into administration – costing 183 jobs.

Gildan has noted that it will be producing products from outside of the US, despite American Apparel’s historical dedication to ethically producing goods from within the US.
