💰 Hotel merchandise is trending with collaborations like Staud and St. Regis, and Ritz-Carlton with Late Checkout. High-end items, such as $400 crewnecks and $250 bags, target a niche market. The focus is on marketing, not volume sales. Opportunities lie in affordable, quality items: $40–$60 hats and $25 totes, appealing to a broader audience. These everyday essentials have lasting impact, suggesting that while fashion collabs are short-term wins, evergreen collections sustain long-term brand value.
