An accessories company whose filing counts its retail employees and part-time employees, so the store pattern is counted and the remainder is read as the brand offices.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

By the patterns, the work is about 37% desk work, 25% people work and 38% body work.

By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 62% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 23% becomes checking a model's work and 14% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
