Barneys New York is an American brand founded in 1923 by Barney Pressman that operated full-line department stores from 1923 until 2020. Barneys introduced major luxury brands to the American market including Armani, Azzedine Alaïa, Comme des Garçons, Christian Louboutin, and Zegna.
Barneys New York filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2019. Authentic Brands Group acquired Barneys' intellectual property and has licensed the brand to Saks Fifth Avenue for specialty departments within its flagship stores since 2021. As of 2026, Barneys continues its partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue, with two branches operating in New York City and Greenwich. Along with this, the partnership with Laox Holdings continues with six standalone locations and four outlet stores in Japan. The skincare and fragrance line Barneys New York Beauty also operates under a licence with the South-Korean Gloent Group.
