DALLAS – A Dallas-area woman has found Neiman Marcus’ generous return policy lacking, saying the luxury retailer wouldn’t let her return $1.4 million worth of tainted items – many of them gifts her husband purchased from a store employee with whom he was allegedly having an affair.
Patricia Walker is suing Neiman Marcus, claiming fraud against the retailer. The lawsuit alleges that many of the items were presented as gifts to Walker from her husband, bought with Walker’s credit from her long-time personal shopper, who received a hefty commission from the sales.
But Walker’s attorney insists the lawsuit isn’t about spite.
