Coach released a co‑created, open‑access collection in The Sims 4 on January 13 featuring nine items including Tabby and Brooklyn bags with 65 print and color variations. The move prioritizes ubiquity and community-driven visibility over NFT-style scarcity, aiming to drive cultural penetration, organic styling data and long‑term engagement with younger consumers. The collaboration aligns with Tapestry’s push to acquire and retain Gen Z customers and serves as a distribution strategy to extend brand presence beyond traditional advertising. » More on forbes.com
