Pandora

Danish jewelry brand Pandora, which is known for its popular charm bracelets and silver jewelry, warned of across the affordable jewelry industry if Trump's proposed reciprocal tariffs come into effect.

Hugo Boss

CEO Daniel Grieder said U.S. shopper appetite had "certainly diminished" but added that it was still too soon to judge the real impact, despite soft sales in the
