Luxus-Krise: Die deutsche Tochter des Luxuslabels Bally ist insolvent

The Swiss luxury brand Bally's crisis has consequences for its German subsidiary: According to WirtschaftsWoche, B. D. Retail Deutschland GmbH, headquartered in Munich, has filed for bankruptcy. The company, formerly known as Bally Deutschland GmbH, had its chambers set up by Munich District Court. Jurist Henrik Brandenburg from the law firm Müller-Heydenreich Bierbach & Kollegen was appointed as the provisional insolvency administrator.

Brandenburg aims to gain an overview but faces obstacles, citing a "rapid flow of information from Switzerland". He speaks of a "severe initial situation". Employees of the last remaining Bally store in Metzingen have already been informed of the situation. The provisional insolvency administrator announces the preparation of a liquidation sale.

The Swiss parent company has so far not responded to a request from WirtschaftsWoche. Bally's products include shoes, bags, accessories, and clothing. The company was owned by the secretive German billionaire family Reimann until 2024.
