LK Bennett Closing Down Sale: At Least 70% Off Everything — Our Top Picks
The iconic British luxury brand has entered administration. Here's what to buy before it's too late.
LK Bennett, the iconic British luxury womenswear brand loved by the likes of Kate Middleton and the Duchess of Cambridge, has entered administration — and the closing down sale is now live with at least 70% off everything.
What's Happening at LK Bennett?
On 27 January 2026, administrators from Alvarez & Marsal were appointed to manage the business. The LK Bennett brand and intellectual property was immediately acquired by LKB IP Holdings (a Gordon Brothers affiliate), but the physical stores were not included in the deal.
What this means for shoppers: the online store continues to trade for the foreseeable future, with massive markdowns across the entire range. Everything must go — dresses, shoes, handbags, accessories, and the signature tweed collection.
The Best Deals We've Found
Signature Dresses — From £74.70

The Karla Navy Floral Cross-Over Dress, perfect for summer weddings, falls from £349 to £104.70. These are the kind of pieces that rarely see more than 30% off — 70% is unprecedented.

What You Need to Know Before Buying
There are a few things to be aware of with administration sales:
• Due to high demand, delivery may take longer than usual and orders could arrive in multiple parcels.
• Returns and refund policies may have changed — check the help centre before ordering.
• Stock is limited and won't be replenished. Once it's gone, it's gone.
• The website states that online sales continue "for the foreseeable future" — but there's no guarantee how long this will last.
Our Verdict
This is a rare opportunity to buy luxury British womenswear at high-street prices. LK Bennett pieces are known for their quality fabrics, expert tailoring, and timeless designs. At 70%+ off, a £349 tweed jacket for £104.70 or suede courts for £59.70 represents exceptional value. If you know your size and have had your eye on any LK Bennett pieces, now is the time to act.
