When you own the entire customer loop — browse, buy, unbox, return, repurchase — you can afford to build product that earns a repeat. Most DTC founders split margin three ways (production, ads, fulfillment) and wonder why customers churn. Reformation built in the opposite order: product first, then ads, then fulfillment.
