- Exclusive, hard-to-find luxury items, accessible only through VOL e.g. Hermes Birkin.
- Affiliate integrations with high-end retailers, ensuring seamless product discovery.
- Editorial-driven commerce, where content and shopping merge to inspire purchases.
- Luxury perks for Insignia cardholders, such as reward-based payments, early access, and member-only drops.
