SEATTLE, Feb. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordstrom announced today the launch of a Home collection as part of Treasure & Bond, the company's give-back brand that donates 2.5% of net sales to nonprofit organizations empowering youth. The home collection will feature a fresh tabletop assortment including ceramic dishware, artisanal cheese boards and textured glass pieces, as well as bedding, stylish throws and pillows, with pricing that ranges from $45-$199. The Treasure & Bond product assortment also features Women's apparel, footwear, handbags and accessories, in addition to Men's, Girls' and Boys' apparel.
The give-back brand closed 2017 with a $1 million donation to YWCA USA and Canada, marking the largest gift to-date from Nordstrom through Treasure & Bond, and bringing its total donation from sales of the brand to more than $2.4 million since 2014.
"We are thrilled to launch Treasure & Bond's first-ever home collection, which captures the brand's authentic, approachable style with classic pieces across tabletop, textiles and home décor," says Jennifer Jackson Brown, president of Nordstrom Product Group. "Treasure & Bond represents an integral part of our charitable giving strategy and we are committed to partnering with organizations like YWCA and WE Charity whose work empowers youth across North America."
The company also announced that from February 1, 2018 through January 31, 2019, Treasure & Bond will partner with WE Charity in the United States and Canada. Every Treasure & Bond purchase gives back to WE Charity's domestic program WE Schools – a free, yearlong service-learning program that provides educators and students with curriculum and educational resources that helps them gain an understanding of the root causes of pressing social issues and provides the tools necessary to take action and make an impact on those issues.
"WE Schools empowers over 11,200 schools and groups, enabling the program to reach more than 2.8 million students and 17,000 teachers" said Roxanne Joyal, CEO of ME to WE. "The partnership between Treasure & Bond and ME to WE, will empower young people to make an impact on social issues that matter most to them –sparking civic engagement and social responsibility in the next generation of young leaders."
Powered by ME to WE's 'Track Your Impact' technology, all Treasure & Bond items will feature a code allowing customers to learn how their purchase makes an impact on the life of a child in North America.
Treasure & Bond is available in Nordstrom stores and online at Nordstrom.com.
