Krefeld's shopping space breaks: Dagmar de Jong closes after 22 years

Krefeld's shopping space breaks: Dagmar de Jong closes after 22 years

Another bitter loss for the shopping landscape of Krefeld is imminent: Dagmar de Jong, the owner of the well -known noble boutique on Königstraße 119, has to close her business after 22 years. This decision she made with dismay is a direct consequence of bankruptcy, which was caused by declining customer frequency and a general decrease in the attractiveness of Königstrasse. The situation is so serious that it cannot currently call a precise closure period, but is already being handled by a reduced sale of its range.

Dagmar de Jong, who has offered high-quality women's fashion for more than two decades, noticed that the online presence of the business can no longer be maintained. Her boutique was known for stylish fashion of Italian brands such as Bruno Cucinelli and Manzoni 24, as well as for German designers like Jil Sander. Actually, the boutique represented a place where customers from Krefeld and the surrounding area could not only shop, but also enjoy special experiences, for example during stylish fashion shows.

A highlight of the Königstrasse is lost

The closure of de Jongs Boutique is not the only setback for the shopping mile. Neighboring shops, such as the Tommy Hilfiger shop and the lingerie boutique Rigby & Peller, are also operating due to bankruptcy. These developments throw a shadow on the once flourishing shopping street, which was known for its high quality and diversity. Already in the spring, the “Accent” establishment, which was located on Königstrasse for 16 years, had closed, which only reinforced the trend that the variety of shops in the city would go back.

The closure of de Jong's boutiques is regrettable in many ways. She presented fashion collections three times a year on high -quality events that were always well attended. Prominent guests such as Barbara Becker, who is known for their sporting collection, also celebrated their appearances there. Such events helped Krefeld to spray a touch of glamor.

The decision to close has far -reaching consequences for the cityscape of Krefeld. The implementation of a survey on the recurring attractiveness of Königstrasse could help to understand why such department stores can no longer exist. The changed shopping habits of customers may be the decisive factor. The extinction of such business could also affect the possibility that future owners want to open their boutiques in this area.

Dagmar de Jong himself does not want to comment in detail about the reasons for their bankruptcy, but emphasizes that it is unfortunate how things came. Her regular customers, who have built up a loyal relationship with her over the years, have already started to express their grief about the upcoming loss of the business. The departure of de Jong, which was known for her elegant style and appreciation for quality, will certainly be badly missing in Krefeld.

The future development of Königstrasse remains to be seen, while Krefeld's citizens are fighting with the losses that bring the closures established business. The changes that take place in the digital world and consumer behavior make it increasingly difficult for stationary retailers. With the loss of Dagmar de Jong’s Boutique, Krefeld belongs another facet of his cultural heritage and the diversity that the cityscape has shaped.
