Birkenstock, Bugaboo, Coach thrive as rich Americans absorb hikes
LONDON, U.K.: For now, America's wealthier consumers appear unfazed by price increases on high-end products, from Birkenstock sandals to Bugaboo strollers, even as tariffs and economic uncertainty push brands to raise prices. German footwear brand Birkenstock has seen "tremendously strong" demand since introducing higher prices on July 1 to offset U.S. import tariffs, CEO Oliver Reichert told analysts this week. "We saw no pushback or cancellations," he said. The resilience mirrors trends across several premium brands. Bugaboo, the Dutch maker of strollers, high chairs, and playpens retailing for more than US$1,000, raised prices by $50 to $300 in May. "In general, we did not see any pushback," said Jeanelle Teves, Bugaboo's chief commercial officer for North America, noting retailers were "open and accepting" of the changes. Coach handbags have also remained popular, with parent company Tapestry reporting 4.6 million new North American customers this year, many from Gen Z and millennial demographics. CEO Joanne Kuvoiserat said the brand expects to maintain profit margins despite tariff pressures. Ralph Lauren likewise raised its annual revenue forecast as shoppers snapped up items like its $398 Polo Bear sweaters. However, CEO Patrice Louvet cautioned that price sensitivity in the second half remains a key unknown. Bank of America data supports the picture of steady luxury spending. The bank reported that middle—and upper-income cardholders spent more in July than a year earlier, even as spending by lower-income customers stayed flat. The bank noted that lower-income households account for only 15 percent of U.S. consumer spending, meaning overall demand could remain strong if higher-income spending holds up. However, some signs of caution are emerging. Procter & Gamble, maker of Tide detergent, noted that even wealthier consumers are becoming more selective in their purchases. Bugaboo manufactures in China and sells through retailers including Target, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's, as well as smaller independent stores. Coach's popular Tabby shoulder bag sells for $350, while Ralph Lauren's luxury apparel continues to command high prices. As brands watch the second half of the year unfold, the big question remains whether affluent shoppers will keep absorbing price hikes or begin to pull back in the face of a "broader pricing environment," Louvet said.

She's Got Next: Founders rally in Vancouver behind historic firsts in women's sports
Rogers Arena was host to a first on Friday night: the WNBA's inaugural regular-season game in Vancouver. Before tip-off, inside a private pre-game gathering, She's Got Next founders Julie Smulders and Jill Tracy brought together a powerhouse group of athletes, executives and community leaders to underline a message – Canada is entering a new era for women's sports, and it's time to show up. Smulders, a UBC Thunderbirds alumna who played professional basketball overseas, said the idea for She's Got Next began last year after she and Tracy left a sold-out NCAA women's Final Four and compared it to the Canada West championships in B.C., which drew just 500 fans. 'We thought, 'We can do something in Canada. Let's elevate women's sports. Let's bring a community of women together,' Smulders said. The private event drew some of the most influential figures in Canadian and North American sport: Toronto Tempo president Teresa Resch and general manager Monica Wright Rogers, NBA Canada communications director Ashton Lawrence, PWHL Vancouver general manager Cara Morey and director of business operations Tania Richards, and five-time Olympian and Canadian Olympic Committee president Charmaine Crooks. Story continues below advertisement 5:57 WNBA players call for pay equity Tempo also used the evening to announce that when their inaugural WNBA season tips off next year, two of their regular-season games will be played in B.C., marking another historic milestone for Canadian women's basketball. Instead of hosting galas, She's Got Next has built its brand around what Smulders calls 'games over galas.' The group organizes dedicated fan sections at women's sporting events, including Section 107 at PWHL Vancouver home games. Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day. Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy That means when members join the organization, they don't just attend events—they show up in the stands together. 'It's about modelling behaviour,' Tracy said. 'Men have done it for decades—grabbing friends and going to games. We're making that the norm for women's sports.' This season also marks the arrival of PWHL Vancouver, the province's first professional women's hockey franchise. The league has already drawn record-setting attendance in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, and now Vancouver fans have a team of their own. Story continues below advertisement 23:49 WNBA in Canada: Teresa Resch hopes Toronto Tempo will 'inspire an entire new generation' Smulders and Tracy said they were emotional seeing young girls in jerseys at PWHL games earlier this year. 'There were no dry eyes in our group when the women took the ice and heard the national anthem,' Tracy recalled. 'We hadn't seen that before.' The fight for visibility in women's sports has been ongoing for a long time. For decades, women were excluded outright: in the U.K., women's soccer was banned for 50 years. In North America, women were often dismissed as 'unable' or 'unfit' to play. 'That mindset doesn't disappear overnight,' Smulders said. In Canada, progress has accelerated in recent years. Christine Sinclair became the world's all-time leading international goal scorer, cementing women's soccer as a national passion. Marie-Philip Poulin's overtime heroics turned her into 'Captain Clutch,' rewriting hockey history. Story continues below advertisement And now, Canadian broadcasters are carrying more women's games—including, for the first time this year, all Indiana Fever WNBA games featuring star rookie Caitlin Clark. 'If you don't see it, you don't believe it's possible,' Smulders said. 'Now kids across Canada are seeing it.' 1:57 'To be brave, and to be bold': WNBA empowering next generation Smulders remembered her UBC days when the women's basketball team was fed Subway while the men's team got steak dinners. 'We were grateful just to get anything,' she said. Today's generation isn't settling. 'They want jerseys in their size. They want visibility. They want equality,' Tracy said. 'To them, women are just athletes. Period.' For Smulders and Tracy, the message to fans, institutions and media is clear: women's sports are not a novelty, they are the future. Story continues below advertisement Alongside fan sections and events, She's Got Next is launching scholarships for student-athletes, building career pipelines for women graduating from university sport, and continuing to host pre-game gatherings that unite athletes, executives, coaches, entrepreneurs and fans. The organization also has dedicated fan sections starting with Section 107 at every PWHL Vancouver game. The first WNBA game in Vancouver, the arrival of PWHL hockey in B.C., and the coming Northern Super League aren't just milestones; they're an invitation. The question now is whether Canadians will keep showing up, not just for history, but for what comes next. 'Come to games. Become members. Tell your friends,' Smulders urged. Tracy added: 'The bigger the community, the bigger our impact.'

"From Alberta to Texas, CoCo's franchise partners are bringing our brand to new communities and increasing access to authentic bubble tea for millions of North American consumers. We are immensely grateful to our partners for the passion and commitment it has taken to accomplish this."

Coming soon in 2025: Saskatoon, as the brand extends its footprint deeper into the Canadian Prairie provinces. U.S. expansion driven by Texas CoCo opened its first overseas store in the United States in 2011, establishing itself as one of the pioneering new tea brands to expand globally. In 2025, CoCo has identified Texas as a key priority market in its U.S. growth strategy: Dallas: Store opened in April 2025 Upcoming franchise activities CoCo will exhibit at two upcoming major franchise expos in the region: Franchise Expo West 2025 Los Angeles Convention Center | Booth #525 September 5–6, 10AM–4PM Toronto Fall Franchise Show The International Centre | Booth #148 September 13–14, 11AM–5PM Culture and community powering success CoCo's approach to franchising is rooted in trust, support, and building long-term relationships with partners. In Canada, the same franchise partners have been with CoCo for 11 years; in New York City, partners have grown alongside the brand for 14 years — both a testament to CoCo's value-driven model and collaborative culture. To further spread pearl milk tea culture globally, the brand focuses on harnessing the popularity of the refreshment among younger consumers through social media. Also, employees and partners are referred to as " Boba Squad", a name embodying the resilience and vibrancy of the brand. In Canada, CoCo has invested heavily in synergies with local cultures. The brand has transformed fan-favorite drinks like its passionfruit series into popsicles now sold in T&T Supermarket locations across the country. In a collaboration with Barbie, CoCo brought "Strawberry Dreamer" drinks to over 100 stores across North America. This further showcases how the brand continues to innovate with purpose and reach younger audiences through pop culture. Empowering partners To support franchise partners, CoCo provides robust support tailored to its North American network, including: Dedicated logistics and supply chain for the region Local operations and consulting teams offering in-person support and business strategy Regional training programs Product R&D and adaptation for local tastes A single-store program that empowers individual entrepreneurs to build community-driven success stories CoCo Bubble Tea aims to create a diverse and sustainable community for its consumers by providing visually refreshing products.
