Luxury retailing is not without problems.

After almost two decades in Highland Park Village, men's apparel boutique Robert Talbott has been locked out of its store for not paying rent.

The store was holding 75%-off sales in recent days but didn't reopen Tuesday morning after locks were changed and a sign was posted on the door by Highland Park Village.

The sign, posted late Monday, read: "One or more of tenant's monthly installments of rent are delinquent in whole or in part and therefore, under authority of the tenant's lease for these premises and in accordance with Chapter 93 of the Texas Property Code, the landlord has exercised its right to change the door locks on these premises."

The sign posted at the entrance to Robert Talbott men's apparel store.

Robert Talbott opened in the luxury shopping center in 2000 and moved into a larger space in 2010.

The Monterey, Calif.-based company was founded in 1950 by Robert and Audrey Talbott, who liked to sew one-of-a-kind bow ties for her husband, family and friends, according to the company's website.

The company was sold in 2016 to the Corliss family, according to published reports. The company has also laid off employees the past two years at its headquarters and manufacturing facility in California, according to the Monterey County Weekly.

Other stores in New York, Atlanta and California didn't answer the phone. The retailer's headquarters hasn't replied to a request for information.
