And we don't just sell clothing, but also objects, jewelry, furniture, and lifestyle products. I think it's a new paradigm in retail because it's not about a season. The stuff we sell is timeless. It's not really fashion in that sense. It's clothes that feel really good that you can wear anywhere and for the rest of your life. A percentage of all the sales...
