This link will open in a new window In the trend-driven world of women's fashion, The Talbots is a constant. After a flirtation with hipper styles, the purveyor of women's apparel, shoes and accessories has returned to its hallmark classic styles in a bid to right its business. Talbots runs some 585 stores in more than 45 US states, the District of Columbia, and Canada. The chain specializes in selling mostly private-label, classically-styled (some would say dowdy) apparel, accessories, and shoes to women age 35 and older. In 2009 Talbots sold its J.

Because regular gross margins are very high, often 50 percent, mass merchants have been able to cut prices and take market share. Wal-Mart is the largest jewelry retailer in the US.
