WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2025 Men are increasingly driving sales of high-end jewellery, but some retailers say there isn't enough product to meet demand. A yoga influencer is suing Alo Yoga for age discrimination, arguing that creators like her should have the same protections as employees. Direct-to-consumer luggage brand Paravel was acquired by the travel brand Antler in a liquidation sale. Governments across Latin America are taxing low-value imports in an effort to fight the influx of cheap goods from Temu, Shein and AliExpress.
