  • Imported assortment faces tariff shocks, customs delays, and supplier disruptions.
  • RELEX dependency creates margin damage if forecasting models misread demand shifts.

  • Many products are exclusive, developed through artisan relationships over fifty years.
  • RELEX forecasting and space planning modernize replenishment across stores and e-commerce fulfillment.
