Tailored Brands names new CEO
Tighe succeeds Peter Sachse, who will transition from his current role as CEO to executive chairman of the company's board.
The new CEO first joined Tailored Brands in May 2021 as executive vice president and chief customer officer, before becoming president of the Houston-based company in March 2022.
'The hallmark of a strong and resilient organization is a well-developed succession plan, and John's promotion highlights the thoughtful, holistic talent strategy Tailored Brands has established," said Sachse, who was first appointed to the board in March 2021, and went on to lead the company's transformation as co-CEO alongside Bob Hull. In February 2024, he was named sole CEO.
"Over the past four years, John has been instrumental in our company's ability to anticipate market shifts and evolve with our customers as he architected nuanced merchandising, planning, marketing, and value-driven pricing strategies. There is no doubt he is the right successor at the right time, and I'm excited to see Tailored Brands continue to thrive under his leadership.'
Based in Texas, Tailored Brands is a specialty retailer of menswear, including suits, formalwear and a broad selection of business casual offerings. Its portfolio includes Men's Wearhouse, Jos. A. Bank, Moores and K&G Fashion Superstore.
'I'm honored to lead this talented organization to deliver on our company's purpose and value proposition. I look forward to Peter's continued mentorship as he takes on his new role and want to thank the board, Peter and the entire leadership team for their support and confidence," said Tighe.
"I'm grateful to work alongside such a talented and passionate leadership team as well as the more than 14,000 team members who wake up every day to put our customers at the center of every decision. We wouldn't be where we are today without their tireless dedication, and I look forward to unlocking the potential of all our banners as a team."

Not just Ikea: where you can buy furniture in France
Although Ikea does of course exist in France if you like flat-pack furniture and a cheeky cinnamon bun, there are other options for you to peruse. Maisons du Monde French-owned furniture store Maisons du Monde is a decent option, if you're looking for solid, non-flatpack furniture in a range of different designs. It offers vintage, exotic, classic chic, seaside, modern, country, and industrial styles for whatever type of look you're going for. Be aware that not all products on their website are sold by Maisons du Monde itself and different providers offer different quality. Look for the Maisons du Monde brand to ensure the quality. La Redoute The one-time mail-order homewear catalogue company has transformed over the decades into one of France's leading and well-respected furniture brands. It promises a range of stylish and well-put-together furniture at a price that's not out of reach for many people. And it does clothing, too. Advertisement AM/PM Look out, too, for AM/PM furniture stores, which has stores in major cities across the country and is owned by La Redoute. Think stylish and contemporary. But also premium – it's a touch more expensive than its parent business. Roche Bobois For high-end furniture, this luxury Paris-based store is for you. It works with well-known designers and cultural icons (it recently collaborated with Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar) and has a very distinct and sophisticated style. A go-to for anyone looking for something a bit special, and with the funds to pay for it. Alinea Founded in Avignon in 1989, and committed to sustainable and responsible home decoration, Alinea draws its inspiration from the landscapes of its southern birthplace. So, expect things to be a bit more relaxed in style. Habitat From 1960s London to 21st-century France, via liquidation and rebirth. In March this year, a boutique reopened in Paris. By the end of 2025, Habitat will offer its products on the shelves of several 'partner' stores as part of a slow relaunch. It has an online presence, now, so you could Conran your crib from anywhere in France, if you so desire. Conforama This is probably the French equivalent of Ikea, selling mostly flat-pack furniture but also things like sofas and electrical items for a reasonable price. It represents 16 percent of the French market (just behind Ikea on 19 percent and ahead of But on 13 percent) and has stores in most French towns. It offers a delivery service and some stores will also hire out their own vans, at a discount price, between the hours of 12 and 2pm (when drivers are taking their lunch break), so you can take larger items home. But Very similar to Conforama is But which also has a presence in most French towns, usually on the large trading estates on the outskirts. It too sells mostly flatpack furniture at reasonable prices. Advertisement Ikea We know that this article is about alternatives to Ikea, but it does exist as a furniture option in France and offers a good range of affordable furniture and household items. In larger cities the brand is rolling out city centre stores - these allow you to browse all the items, sit on the sofas, test out the desk chairs etc, but they don't actually have a huge warehouse of beds, sofas etc. Instead you pick what you want and then order it online for delivery. The stores themselves still have smaller items to buy though, such as mirrors, picture frames, kitchen utensils and of course 100-pack bags of small candles. The bigger Ikea stores on the outskirts of town allow you to buy large items to take home in your car, although they too have a delivery option. Advertisement JYSK JYSK is similar to Ikea in terms of affordability and Scandinavian roots, so expect lots of natural wood and neutral tones. It has a few dozen stores in France, mostly in the northern half of the country, but it is expanding into the south. You can find clean and unfussy furniture here to fill every room of the house from the bedroom and the dining room to the lounge and even the home office. Kave Home Kave Home is a Spanish company with stores in France. The style is generally Mediterranean with a touch of Nordic and mostly solid wood products. They sell everything from sofas and chairs to dining tables, beds, lighting and home decor. Leroy Merlin Leroy Merlin is better known for home improvements, selling everything from tools and lighting to wall paint and tiles – but they do sell no-fuss mostly bedroom, office and outdoor furniture. You won't find most of the furniture in store, however so will have to rely on online photos and reviews. Check out, too, other DIY outlets like Mr Bricolage. There will be one on the outskirts of most reasonably sized towns. Advertisement Selection M An online store that sells everything from dishware to antique furniture. It's not cheap, but if you have the money and a thing for what those in the know term 'slow deco', and what everyone else might call 'timeless', this might be the place for you. White goods Furniture stores such as Conforama and But also sell the usual array of household electricals and white goods, like fridges, freezers and cookers. You could also seek out a Boulanger store, or a Darty. Or a fnac, or a CDiscount. All have online stores, and deliver. Products bought from any one of these will have the advantage, too, of coming with the right plug for your French home. Local furniture stores The furniture stores listed above may offer good choices and have websites that you can easily browse for products, but don't underestimate the possibility of finding what you need from local magasins de meubles (furniture stores) – which range from the monstrous BHV Marais in Paris to a family owned store in a small town. Many cities in France have furniture warehouses on the outskirts, so it's worth seeking them out. For white goods, watch out for discount outlets, sometimes called 'entrepots'. Second-hand furniture The pre-loved furniture market is very much a thing in France – just ask the people behind Selection M. But you could find bargains aplenty online, by looking at well-known classifieds website leboncoin , for example. But also consider looking out your nearest Emmaus store, where donated goods are sold for charity, or any one of the 'troc' outlets. Then there's brocantes , which sell second-hand/vintage/antique items. There are some brocante stores but also regular market-style events in towns and cities across France that offer a huge range of items from real junk to genuine bargains on old furniture. Vide grenier are more like car-boot sales/yard sales are tend to offer smaller items and not much furniture, but you may also see signs locally for a vide maison or house clearance, which may have some bargains.

American brand Cotopaxi launches in Portugal
American outdoor clothing and accessories brand Cotopaxi is now available in the Portuguese market. Distributed in the country by the Lisbon-based business CoolAndFunctional, the label launched in multi-brand stores across the country this month. Cotopaxi is now available in the country at select points of sale, such as outdoor and adventure stores, camping, surfing, and even some fashion stores "due to the variety of accessories and backpacks it offers," CoolAndFunctional told The Portuguese business added that, for Cotopaxi's debut in the Portuguese market, it is delivering its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection to retailers, focusing on introducing local consumers to its accessories and backpack lines, which "have contributed to the brand's notoriety today," highlighting the Del Día collection, "which is characterised by the creation of exclusive products, made from recycled fabric scraps, to make for unique pieces and prevent materials from ending up in landfills." After introducing Cotopaxi to the Portuguese market this season, CoolAndFunctional intends to reach more points of sale with its spring-summer 2026 season, adding that "collaborations, initiatives, and events are already planned for the launch of the brand in 2026". Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, Cotopaxi is a project by Davis Smith, who was born in the US but grew up in various parts of Latin America, where he witnessed the effects of poverty. In 2014, Smith returned to the US and founded Cotopaxi, recruiting Stephan Jacob and CJ Whittaker as co-founders. Currently, Cotopaxi has over 120 employees and five physical stores in the US. However, the bulk of its business is conducted online. Internationally, in addition to Portugal, the brand is also present in Japan, Spain, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China, and the Middle East. Created with a focus on social responsibility and sustainability, a percentage of the brand's profits go to the Cotopaxi Foundation, which supports poverty reduction projects. Cotopaxi is the latest innovation to be introduced in Portugal by the Lisbon-based company CoolAndFunctional, which at the beginning of 2024 brought the American sock brand Merge4 to the Portuguese market (as well as Spain and France).
