Chanel is the default answer.
Named in 35% of fashion & leather goods answers, typically in position 3.1. Louis Vuitton follows at 30%, Hermès at 28%.
Every brand AI names, ranked.
Visibility is the share of answers naming the brand; citation share is its slice of all brand-owned pages cited; read→cited is how often its pages convert a read into a citation.

Chanel is named most. That is not the same as being wanted.
Being named is visibility. Underneath it, every answer describes a brand in three ways — how much it stands out, how much it belongs, and how much it is returned to. In fashion & leather goods, Hermès leads affinity at 118 against Balenciaga at 88, indexed on the category at 100.

The referees of fashion & leather goods.
The independent sources AI models cite when answering fashion & leather goods questions — the places a brand needs to be seen, reviewed and ranked.
Mulberry converts reads into citations. Hermès doesn't.
When Claude or ChatGPT opens a brand's own pages while answering, does the page make the cited-sources list? Mulberry converts 50% of reads; Hermès just 0%. That gap is a content problem, not a visibility problem.

The models do not agree on who leads.
Ask about fashion & leather goods and the brand you are shown depends on the assistant: Claude → Louis Vuitton, Gemini → Chanel, ChatGPT → Chanel. Their top-five lists share just 22% of names.
Brands whose visibility swings most between models — the bar per model, widest gap on the right.

Briggs & Riley builds pages AI can quote.
Readiness scores each brand's own pages on the structure models reward — a direct answer up front, tables, hard numbers, named authors, structured data, recency, specifications. Set against how often those pages are actually cited.
| Brand | Readiness | Pages cited | Pages profiled |
|---|---|---|---|
| Briggs & Riley | 28 | 60% | 5 |
| Louis Vuitton | 13 | 25% | 4 |
| Chanel | 13 | 20% | 5 |
| Rimowa | 13 | 100% | 3 |
| Mulberry | 13 | 80% | 5 |
Readiness is the share of eight measurable structural signals present on a brand's profiled pages. It is a build-quality measure, not a ranking of the brand.
The questions fashion & leather goods pages have to settle.
Read straight off the pages AI cited: the consumer questions cited content answers most often. Content that fails to settle these is content models have no reason to quote.
Nineteen more categories.
Method: 20 unbranded consumer prompts per category, spread across the buying journey, run weekly against ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Read→cited uses Claude and ChatGPT only (Gemini does not separate the two). Correlational observations of model behaviour at the time of the run.
