Nordstrom Local

Leading fashion specialty retailer Nordstrom, Inc. is pleased to announce Nordstrom Local – the company's latest retail concept and neighborhood hub where customers can shop and access Nordstrom services in a convenient, central location. This brand new Nordstrom experience will launch in West Hollywood on October 3, on the same day as the company's Westside Pavilion store relocation to Century City.


Nordstrom Local
Nordstrom Local will have a 3,000 sq. ft. footprint; much smaller than an average 140,000 sq. ft. Nordstrom store. This service-focused concept store has no dedicated inventory – rather, customers who want to shop will have access to Personal Stylists, who can transfer merchandise in for customers, as well as a suite of convenient services like Buy Online, Pick-Up In-Store (available same-day), Alterations & Tailoring, Trunk Club services, manicure appointments and more (please see full list below). Customers will also be able to make returns at Nordstrom Local from Nordstrom stores, Nordstrom.com and Trunk Club.

"As the retail landscape continues to transform at an unprecedented pace, the one thing we know that remains constant is that customers continue to value great service, speed and convenience," said Shea Jensen, Nordstrom senior vice president of customer experience who led the Nordstrom Local initiative. "We know there are more and more demands on a customer's time and we wanted to offer our best services in a convenient location to meet their shopping needs. Finding new ways to engage with customers on their terms is more important to us now than ever." 

Nordstrom Local will have one styling suite and eight dressing rooms surrounding a central meeting space where customers can sit comfortably, enjoy a glass of wine or beer, and chat with their Personal Stylists. Customers will also find Alterations & Tailoring and Order Pickup at the entrance, and items can be hand-delivered to a customer's car via Curbside Pickup.

Goop-In@Nordstrom

The Limited-Edition Retail Concept Will Launch in Eight Markets on May 12

Goop and Nordstrom Launch Goop-In@Nordstrom

Goop, the modern lifestyle brand founded by Gwyneth Paltrow, is partnering with Nordstrom to bring goop's coveted retail curation to Pop-In@Nordstrom in select stores across the country and online. This is the first-time goop is working with a major retailer in this capacity, and the first-time goop will have a concurrent retail presence in multiple markets at once.

goop-In@Nordstrom will feature a mix of wellness-focused products curated by the goop team, spanning across apparel, accessories, beauty and home. Each shop will be merchandised as an enclosed living space, with furniture and design by 1st Dibs and custom Chinoiserie wallcoverings by Fromental.

Products will include both goop's own lines of luxury skincare, wellness, apparel and fragrance, as well as hand-picked items from goop's digital shop. The buy will aim to translate goop's holistic approach to wellness into a tangible experience, with products mostly fitting into one of three categories: what we put on our bodies, what we put in our bodies and how we treat our bodies. This is the first wellness- focused retail concept for both goop and Pop-In@Nordstrom.

Heading to Hawaii to Shop for Clothes

As if the beautiful beaches were not enough.  Finally, we have a good reason to travel to Hawaii.

Nordstrom, Inc. yesterday announced plans to open Nordstrom Rack at Waikiki Trade Center in Honolulu, HI. The approximately 34,000-square-foot, two-level store is scheduled to open in spring 2016. The property was acquired by Coastwood Capital Group, LLC in late 2013.

The new Rack will be located at street level and is one of several new retail developments located along Kuhio Avenue. Waikiki Trade Center is on the corner of Kuhio Avenue and Seaside Avenue, near the redeveloped International Marketplace, which will be anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue, set to open in summer 2016.

Nordstrom first began serving the Honolulu community in 1966 with shoe departments in Liberty House locations throughout the islands. When it opens, it will be the second Nordstrom Rack in Honolulu joining Ward Village Shops. Nordstrom has also operated a full-line store at Ala Moana Center since 2008, with plans to relocate that store in March 2016 in the same center.  


Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., offering customers a wide selection of on-trend apparel, accessories and shoes at an everyday savings of 30 to 70 percent off regular prices. The Rack carries merchandise from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com, as well as specially purchased items from many of the top brands sold at Nordstrom. The Rack is designed to provide the ultimate treasure hunt to style-savvy customers.

Learn more about Nordstrom here on Apparel Search.

Thank you for taking the time to reading this clothes store news article here on the Fashion Blog.  We hope that learning about this new store opening helps you find more places to shop for clothing and fashion accessories while you are in Hawaii. If you are planning to shop in other states and countries you may want to also visit our clothes store locations section.  Hawaii is a great place to shop, but unfortunately we don't all have the opportunity to live or visit the beautiful state.

TextStyle Shop by Text

Nordstrom, Inc. yesterday launched TextStyle at all of its 116 U.S. Nordstrom stores.  

TextStyle is a seamless, secure way for customers to make curated purchases from their salesperson or personal stylist using text messaging. With the launch of TextStyle, Nordstrom is now the only retail company in the U.S. that offers customers who opt in the ability to shop and buy with a text message.

In 2014, the retailer launched NEXT, an opt-in, secure one-to-one service that lets Nordstrom customers who prefer texting to communicate with their salesperson using their smartphone. TextStyle leverages the security, privacy and capabilities built into the Nordstrom NEXT texting service.

"TextStyle is an important step forward in our continued efforts to develop ways to serve customers on their terms," said Jamie Nordstrom, president of stores. "For customers who prefer text messaging, TextStyle is a way for our salespeople to provide a personalized styling experience and for customers to view and buy seamlessly with the convenience and simplicity of a text message, wherever and whenever they like."

How to use TextStyle

  1. Customers using their NEXT texting account opt-in to use TextStyle.
  2. Using TextStyle, a customer or salesperson sends a private text message with a description or photo of a product.
  3. If the customer likes any of the recommended items, they can purchase by simply replying "buy" plus a unique code.
  4. The purchase is completed using the customer's Nordstrom.com account information. 
  5. Items ship directly to the customer with Nordstrom free standard delivery.

TextStyle and NEXT are built with the customer privacy and security in mind. NEXT is an opt-in-only texting platform developed by Nordstrom and Twilio that provides Nordstrom salespeople a unique 10-digit number for one to one text communication with their customers.

Nordstrom IVY PARK

Nordstrom, Inc. announced the arrival of IVY PARK on April 14, 2016.  Ivy Park is a new activewear line for women.  Co-founded by Beyoncé and Sir Philip Green, the brand launched at 54 Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com.
IVY Park Activewear April 2016
IVY PARK design unifies fashion and performance. The leggings appear in three lengths, the capri, which falls just under the knee; the crop, which falls on the calf; and the full length, which reaches the ankle. Each pant comes in three shapes: the I, the V and the Y, which corresponds with low rise, midrise and high rise fit, respectively.
Ivy Park Activewear
The core of the collection is bolstered by ‘second skin’ signature pieces, including fitted tank tops with concealed, built-in sports bras, bonded, v-band structured medium impact sports bras, seamless knits and body suits. The line also features logo sweatshirts, cotton jersey tanks and tees, basketball mesh over-sized T-shirts and tank tops that appear in both black and white.
Beyonce Ivy Park Activewear Launch

IVY PARK merchandise sold at Nordstrom ranges in price from $14 for a headband to $265 for a body suit.

Nordstrom has been the retail partner of choice for brands such as Topshop, Topman and Madewell, which have exclusive U.S. distribution through the retailer.
Up Against the Fence IVY Park
Beyoncé has hit a home run with this activewear collection.  Attractive, stylish, trendy... Very impressive.

The "I" the "V" and the "Y" each correlate to a different rise in the legging. Make sure to get the one that is the proper fit for your body.  If you are not familiar with the meaning of a pant rise, you may want to view clothing measurements page here on Apparel Search.  That page discusses a little bit about the front rise and rear rise of pants.  Regarding the exact rise & measurement method for the IVY leggings, you should consult with Nordstrom or the manufacturer of the brand.

Nordstrom, Inc. announced today it has entered into an agreement to acquire Trunk Club, a personalized clothing service for men. The men's market is one of the fastest growing and most rapidly changing segments in retail, and Trunk Club has created a unique approach to capture the imagination of an under-served customer.

"We have more than 1,500 talented personal stylists at Nordstrom as well – in our stores. This complimentary service is an important and successful volume driver for us that our customers appreciate," said Erik Nordstrom.

It will be managed by its current leadership team and remain headquartered in Chicago.

Trunk Club Stylist Shoppers

Shopping for clothes in stores can become overwhelming and inconvenient. Sure, many of us love shopping for clothing in stores, but a good number of people do not enjoy the process as much as we do.  To make matters worse, they may not have the excellent sense of style that you and I happen to have. With Trunk Club, you’ll discover great clothes that are perfect for you without ever having to go shopping. They combine top brands, expert service, and unparalleled convenience to deliver a highly personalized experience that helps you look your best.  Imagine having your own personal stylist to pick out clothes for you.

Trunk Club is a clothing service for men and women. 
Trunk Clothing Stylist Shopping
There are currently two ways to use Trunk Club:

In Person Consultation: They offer personal shopping by appointment in our Chicago, Dallas, DC, and Los Angeles locations, seven days a week. You’ll meet your stylist in a relaxing lounge environment, discuss your clothing needs, have complimentary drinks from our full bar, and try on and buy clothes.  We assume that they plan to expand into additional locations as the company grows.

At home Online Service (Lower 48 U.S. States)

Sign up to get connected to one of our full-time personal stylists. Your stylist will reach out to you by phone/email to get to know you and understand your clothing needs and preferences. Your stylist will send an email containing recommended items, individually selected for you. Pick what you’d like to try on at home and your trunk will ship shortly.  When you receive your trunk, you have 10 days to try everything on. Keep what you love, send back the rest. Shipping is free both ways (including returns).  There’s a pre-paid return label in every trunk and we’ll schedule a free pick-up on request.

So, that it the service in a nutshell.  You can learn more at their website at https://www.trunkclub.com

By the way, I am not certain where Trunk Club finds the clothing and fashion accessories to ship to customers, but in my opinion they would be wise to utilize clothing from Nordstrom.

In August 2014, Trunk Club became a fully owned subsidiary of Nordstrom. According to their website Trunk Club will continue to serve their members independently, but now with the support of a more experienced partner (Nordstrom). 

In the opinion of Apparel Search, Nordstrom has been one of the best fashion retailers in terms of embracing the internet.  They have made clever moves to stay relevant in a changing retail environment.  The Trunk Club has not been their only online purchase.  They appear to be gathering key elements but keeping them as relatively separate entities.  I wonder when the other clothing retailers will get this internet thing all figure out like Nordstrom.

Having trendy stylist as your personal shoppers is a good idea for consumers as well as Nordstrom.

So, that it the service in a nutshell.  You can learn more at their website at https://www.trunkclub.com

By the way, I am not certain where Trunk Club finds the clothing and fashion accessories to ship to customers, but in my opinion they would be wise to utilize clothing from Nordstrom.

In August 2014, Trunk Club became a fully owned subsidiary of Nordstrom. According to their website Trunk Club will continue to serve their members independently, but now with the support of a more experienced partner (Nordstrom). 

In the opinion of Apparel Search, Nordstrom has been one of the best fashion retailers in terms of embracing the internet.  They have made clever moves to stay relevant in a changing retail environment.  The Trunk Club has not been their only online purchase.  They appear to be gathering key elements but keeping them as relatively separate entities.  I wonder when the other clothing retailers will get this internet thing all figure out like Nordstrom.

Having trendy stylist as your personal shoppers is a good idea for consumers as well as Nordstrom.
