Your Stylist’s email will not be affected during this scheduled maintenance. We are expecting this outage to last 30-45 minutes.
When our Fall/Winter 2025 Collection launched on August 5, there were some late arrivals to the product selection that were unavailable on the original launch date. We are pleased to let you know that the items listed below are now available. As new product comes live each week, we will inform you of these updates to ensure you are able to offer these items to your Clients.
These additional styles are now available online and in the Stylist App:
- Black and Navy Velvet Bomber Jackets
- Navy, Camel, and Black Colombo Cashmere Outerwear, including the Bomber Jacket
- RTW Italian Cashmere Sweaters: Crew Neck, V-Neck, and Zip Mock Neck Sweaters will all be available within the next week!
- Cable Knit Sweater and Accessories coming soon with the Winter Collection
- 20 NEW Allen Edmonds styles + additional colorways and sizes in existing styles
We are pleased to share that in mid-September, we will be introducing a small capsule of product we are calling “The Cashmere Reserve,” containing a level of product higher than our current first-tier fabrics. The creation of this capsule was based on Stylist feedback that there are some Clients who shop for cashmere from designer brands and were requesting this type of product. The reserve selection is an exclusive addition to current cashmere outerwear, sweaters, and blends of cashmere that are available for all Stylists.
This small capsule is a TEST intended to measure the appetite for this type of product. As such, we are initially inviting only SILVER AND ABOVE Circle of Excellence members to participate in the test. This group of stylists will receive an email invitation over the next week to opt in to the test group. If you receive the invite, please RSVP to participate and be put on the security group list in Green Room and the Stylist App.
More details will be included in the invitation.

Selling
We’ve created a handy one-page document where you will find details on fabrics, linings, and buttons that currently are unavailable and status updates for replenishment. Please be sure to check the status of items on this list before offering them to your Clients. Click the link below to view the document:
This fall, we are launching several fit updates for Outerwear Jackets, Suiting and Fashion Vests, and the Relaxed Chino. Please watch the short video below covering each of these updates.
We have experienced some colored shading issues on the Fall 2025 Shirting item AL249. Because of this quality issue, Albini will be replacing the fabric. However, this will delay the fabric’s availability until Pre-Spring. Providing the highest quality products is of the utmost importance to maintain our brand in the marketplace. We appreciate your understanding of the need for this delay.
We know you are excited about the new buttons available in the Fall 2025 Collection. When we shipped the new buttons, as part of your Fall 2025 Sales Tools package, we did not include the Velcro to adhere the new samples to your button display. But, good news! Velcro has been shipped this week, so you should receive it shortly. And, even better news – We are in the process of developing a new button card that will have room for all the new button options. We’ll update you when it becomes available.
Please reach out to the Stylist Success Team for assistance if you have any questions.
As part of our ongoing strategy to keep our site fresh and focused, on September 16, we will be removing items primarily from Spring 2024, Fall 2023, and earlier seasons. These items will no longer be available for purchase. These products have had great runs—spanning full price and discount opportunities—but it’s time to make space for exciting new inventory ahead. This update will help streamline the site experience for everyone by keeping the spotlight on current, relevant styles.
A list of the retiring items is included for your reference so you can plan accordingly.
