Unbelievable and yet true - Sergio Rossi will shut down all of its stores in the U.S. by early next year.
A spokesperson confirmed the sad news: "Strategically the company has decided to focus on its wholesale, which has proven to be the correct channel for the brand development and further expansion in the U.S.
The brand's New York, Los Angeles, and Hawaii retail stores are expected to close by the first quarter in 2009, however its shoes will still be available via department stores.
Sob!
