Premium Contemporary running well above range at Bloomie's + digital
Premium Contemporary demand hit $3.3M (+38%) against a $2.9M upper bound; the Carousel “Surfer Chic” rotation is first-of-kind, so the envelope could not absorb it.
BLM · Premium Contemporary · Bloomie's + Digital · W28
Carousel “Surfer Chic” has no comparable events; the band cannot widen, so the upside surfaces for a human read. New-to-Bloomingdale's 31% vs 18% baseline.

What explains it
Carousel rotation driving new-customer discovery
Demand +38% concentrates where the rotation lives: Bloomie's doors +52%, dotcom +31%, full-line +6% (control cut). New-to-Bloomingdale's share is 31% vs 18% baseline, full-price sell-through 84% with AUR +6%: demand quality, not promo.
- Cannot rule out
Summer Glow halo on contemporary price points
The sitewide promo overlaps the window; scope-limited reads suggest the lift exceeds promo halo, but the events stack.
- Rejected
One-door outlier
Rejected: the lift is distributed across all four Bloomie's doors and dotcom, not concentrated in a single door.
