Building on several years of successful collaboration, the expanded engagement reflects the retailer&#39;s continued investment in AI to support increasingly data-driven planning and commercial decision-making.</p>  <p>The retailer operates more than 1,000 retail locations worldwide and is a globally recognized luxury accessories company with a broad portfolio of premium handbag and lifestyle brands. With a significant omnichannel presence spanning North America, Europe, and Asia, the company serves millions of customers through its retail stores, e-commerce platforms, and wholesale channels.
