Celebrating Success: Tribal ëyës' Nordstrom Pop-Up Shop

In August 2023, Tribal ëyës had the incredible opportunity to shine on a national stage. Nestled within the upscale confines of Nordstrom's Phipps Plaza location, our brand found itself at the heart of a movement – the Fifteen Percent Pledge. This blog post is a heartfelt celebration of the remarkable success we achieved during our three-day pop-up event from August 25 to August 27, 2023. We are immensely proud to have been selected by Nordstrom for this prestigious showcase, and we'd like to extend our gratitude to all our supporters who made this event unforgettable.


The Fifteen Percent Pledge: A Catalyst for Change

At the core of this remarkable journey is the Fifteen Percent Pledge, a call to action that seeks to create sustainable and supportive ecosystems for Black-owned businesses like Tribal ëyës. We are incredibly grateful to Nordstrom for embracing this initiative and recognizing the importance of fostering diversity and inclusion within the retail industry. The partnership between Nordstrom and Tribal ëyës is a testament to the power of collaboration and the positive change it can bring about.

Our products, inspired by you, our tribe, stood as a testament to the beauty of heritage and tradition.
