The retailer’s new 20-week payment terms are crippling smaller suppliers who’re forced to front cash for inventory. Top designers are fleeing to Myer, raising alarms about David Jones’ health after earlier claims of profitability.

With consumer spending down and interest rates looming, David Jones is walking a tightrope, hoping the economy stabilizes before shelves go bare.
