And I do wonder how, if at all, some of the coach coffee shops play in when it comes to Gen Alpha, because obviously a croissant, a cup of coffee, it socializes the idea of coach, but it's much more affordable than a handbag.

I do want to talk about pricing a little bit because one of the things that seems to be unique about Coach is that you've managed to break out of the promotional cycle, which for a lot of brands turns into a downward cycle.

And I want to talk about how that strategy relates to what you're doing in your outlet stores because
Bloomberg Talks
Coach President & CEO Todd Kahn Talks Focus on Gen Z, New Customers & Power of Pricing
It's interesting.
Bloomberg Talks
Coach President & CEO Todd Kahn Talks Focus on Gen Z, New Customers & Power of Pricing
You've actually dropped the word outlet altogether from a lot of those locations.
Bloomberg Talks
Coach President & CEO Todd Kahn Talks Focus on Gen Z, New Customers & Power of Pricing
And within them, you're actually selling at full price in many instances, which is interesting.

It seems like we've settled at least for right now.

Coach President & CEO Todd Kahn Talks Focus on Gen Z, New Customers & Power of Pricing
And I mean, on your side as well, higher tariffs, that's hitting consumers.
Bloomberg Talks
Coach President & CEO Todd Kahn Talks Focus on Gen Z, New Customers & Power of Pricing
And I have to imagine it's hitting your supply chain as well.
Bloomberg Talks
Coach President & CEO Todd Kahn Talks Focus on Gen Z, New Customers & Power of Pricing

I do want to talk a little bit about Europe because you mentioned your growth there.
Bloomberg Talks
Coach President & CEO Todd Kahn Talks Focus on Gen Z, New Customers & Power of Pricing
And I wonder, you know, who are you necessarily taking share from?
Bloomberg Talks
Coach President & CEO Todd Kahn Talks Focus on Gen Z, New Customers & Power of Pricing
Because you think about the European luxury handbags, have to imagine they have a huge presence there.
