About Saks Fifth Avenue

By offering the finest quality men's and women's fashions, and placing an emphasis on exceptional customer service, Saks Fifth Avenue became the byword for taste and elegance. In 2013, they merged with Lord & Taylor and Hudson’s Bay Company to further establish themselves as one of the leading luxury retailers worldwide.
