NEW THIS WEEK
We will be implementing a price increase effective Monday, September 22. While the final number has not yet been confirmed, the increases are being driven primarily by tariffs, which could be as high as 20%.
You may recall the communication we shared back in April regarding a price increase tied to the first round of tariffs. Unfortunately, this second round of tariffs has resulted in further cost increases. These new costs have been in effect since August 7. However, we’ve made a conscious decision to absorb them entirely for the time being. This is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting you and doing what’s right for our clients while we evaluate how best to manage and minimize impact going forward.
That said, we want to emphasize that we are being very intentional in how this is approached. Specifically, we are:
- Reviewing every category to identify where we can minimize the increase.
- Exploring operational efficiencies to help offset costs wherever possible.
- Preparing clear messaging and tools so you can feel confident explaining the value we deliver and why this step is essential.
In the meantime, this creates a strong opportunity to maximize momentum around our Fall launch. Encouraging clients to place orders before September 22 allows them to secure current pricing, which can be a powerful motivator in sales conversations.
We understand pricing changes can feel challenging, which is why we’ll be rolling out support materials, training, and talking points in the coming week to ensure you are fully equipped.
Our priority remains the same: to stay competitive, deliver exceptional quality and service, and protect the long-term health of the business. These changes are necessary to achieve that, and we are committed to working alongside you through the transition.
Thank you for your partnership, professionalism, and ongoing commitment to helping clients see the value in what we provide. More details will follow soon.

This week’s Simon Says reflects on the life and legacy of Giorgio Armani, who recently passed at the age of 91. Armani revolutionized fashion by softening menswear, pioneering new fabrics, and shaping global style with his elegant tailoring and iconic 80s power suits. His influence extended worldwide through bold partnerships and pop culture moments, solidifying him as a true fashion legend. Simon also shares a personal story of early rejection that later came full circle when he was commissioned to design for Armani, underscoring the lasting impact of “Ré Giorgio” on both fashion and his own career.
