[{"type":"text","content":"NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / January 9, 2026 / Luxury used to work like this: You saw the logo, felt the fabric, swiped the card. End of story. If a brand said something was real, sustainable, or "ethically sourced," you nodded and believed them. Because...why wouldn't you?","length":303,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Fast-forward to now. Everyone's asking questions. Where did this come from? Is it actually recycled?
