Morning Lavender Files for Bankruptcy

Morning Lavender, the beloved women’s clothing boutique chain, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy—but don’t panic, the flagship store in Tustin and its online shop are still open, plus the cafe serves up tea and treats by reservation. The company, once boasting hundreds of thousands in assets, now faces debts up to $10 million, with major banks and payment processors like Shopify and American Express holding the biggest claims. Two stores—Solana Beach and Huntington Beach—have already shuttered, with the owner blaming construction woes and bad decisions. Amid rising costs and shifting shopping habits, small retailers like Morning Lavender are bearing the brunt of the economic storm, while larger chains have more cushion to weather the storm.
