Their trend-leading aesthetics are highly favored by luxury consumers, allowing them to command significant brand premiums. However, to meet the demands of broader consumer…

While this preserves heritage, it inevitably leads to extended lead times, which no longer seem to meet the needs of brands requiring agile supply chains.
