Barneys 這個空間奠定了不少人的的時尚品味、美藝感和衣著打扮,並承載了在紐約風格。不少人聽到它將破產的消息時,均大感傷心。但是,隨著 Barneys 與 ABG 簽訂交易協議,另一家奢侈品百貨Saks Fifth Avenue 的母公司 Hudson ‘s Bay Co. 將會獲得Barneys 的品牌授權以及網站運營權,把Barneys 的品牌保留下來。

今年8月初,Barneys 向紐約南區法院正式提交了 破產保護申請文件,並宣布將逐漸關閉旗下 15家分店,ABG 注資對 Barneys 而言可謂是雪中送炭,使之保持運營7家實體分店,包括曼克頓的麥迪遜大道旗艦店、位於加州貝弗利山的門店等。
