Trend-driven French denim label April77 has closed shop, reports WWD. Archetype Showroom, which represents the label in the United States, sent letters to retailers in recent weeks announcing there would be no spring shipments.

The company, which has faced financial and production issues in recent seasons, failed to deliver fall-winter orders to retailers including Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bloomingdale's.
