What to watch
- ELEVATED AOV and repeat-purchase rates vs core line
- Competitor premium-basics launches or price moves
- Return/complaint rates on fabric quality claims
- Channel expansion beyond own-website (marketplaces, retail)
- Gross margin shift reported in next funding or earnings update
- Expand ELEVATED into marketplace and offline retail if DTC sell-through validates demand
- Layer in marketing around fabric provenance and fit to justify premium
- Introduce tiered pricing architecture to segment core vs premium buyers
- Test limited seasonal drops to gauge willingness-to-pay before broad SKU expansion
