Yeah, yeah, I live in paradise with no impending hurricane (PS, I'm thinking of you East Coasters! Stay safe!). But seriously, the stuff that Treasure and Bond carries is killer and can't be found on the islands, PLUS 100 percent of after-cost programs go directly to programs that benefit people in need in the Big Apple. PS SNEAKY... It's Norstrom. But still, donating to nonprofits ... NY Times suggests it's warming up those cold Manhattanites to a potential full-fledged Nordstrom in the city. However, in the meantime, Treasure and Bond will still make for some good perusing.
The store's in-part definition: "Part gift boutique, part art gallery and part neighborhood gathering place, it’s an exciting new experiment in giving that has, at its core, one simple goal: To help people help people—and to do so with wit, imagination and style." = Two thumbs up.
Plus, the few entries they've somehow had time to post while prepping to open the store make me believe the selection is going to be awesome:
(A package from Injiri, an all-handcrafted line from India.)
You can also find the shop's nonprofit partners on the website, as well as the location. Check it out for me! And I'd love to hear thoughts on this interesting Nordstrom move.
