They started buying up other clothing companies like Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works. They lost focus and the stores become a mess. There was a time clothes from The Limited were well made and would last several seasons. Then they decided to go into the "teenage disposable clothing business" and it all went downhill. It's kind of sad.

It always amazing me how some people figure out a way to make money off a sinking ship.
