A spokesperson from Mosaic Brands Ltd’s customer care team confirmed that in the coming months, Mosaic would exit the Rockmans, Autograph, Crossroads, W.Lane and BeMe brands, including all stores and websites.

The spokesperson said the move would allow the company to focus on five core growth brands.

“Unfortunately, we are unable at this stage to confirm the specific operational details of this transition; including details related to specific store closures and changes to our websites,” the spokesperson said.

The Wyndham St outlet is currently advertising a closing down sale, with 50 to 70 per cent off everything in the store.

The Facebook post said it would close on February 15.

The store confirmed in the comments that the Rivers Megastore on Goulburn Valley Hwy would remain open.

According to Mosaic Brands Ltd’s website, it has grown to be the largest speciality fashion retailer group in Australia, with around 1000 retail stores across the country.

How many will remain after the forthcoming closures is yet to be revealed.

Rivers Shepparton thanked its clientele.

“Thank you to all of our customers, both new and long-term VIP members,” the social media post said.

“We appreciate you all very much and we will miss seeing your lovely smiling faces every week.”
