Nashelle Identity Collection Trunkshow

Thursday, April 18th – Sunday, April 21st

Timeless. Special. And personal. Our first-ever Nashelle Trunk Show starts tomorrow, and we're thrilled to show you their Identity Collection. Customize your own charm necklace or bracelet, name plate necklace, and more. Whether it's a treat for yourself or a gift for someone else (Mother's Day is right around the corner!), these will make the perfect addition to every woman's jewelry box.

Pick your own necklace or bracelet chain and start adding charms – it's that easy! We'll have samples in our stores, along with our friendly Bliss staff who will help process your special order. From there, Nashelle will make your one-of-a-kind jewelry piece and ship it back to us (within 2-3 weeks).

In addition to Nashelle's customizable Identity Collection, we'll have a large selection of their earrings in our stores too. And the best part? All Nashelle jewelry will be 10% OFF through the weekend! We'll even have champagne & cupcakes to celebrate the event too.

Can't make it to the event? Email us at info@blissboutiques.com and we'll send you the look book! If you get your order in before the weekend ends, we'll give you the Trunk Show price.

As always, we look forward to seeing (or hearing) from you!

One-of-a-Kind Trunk Show

Create: Your Story. Your Inspiration. Your Identity.

Ever wanted to customize your own charm necklace or bracelet? Maybe with your name or the name/initials of loved ones? Well, now's your chance – our Nashelle Identity Collection Trunk Show starts this Thursday! It's our first-ever event that allows YOU to be the designer and create a piece of jewelry that's unique to you & your story. Or give a really special gift (Mother's Day is right around the corner!).

Nashelle's delicate hoop earrings, memorable state necklaces and customizable Identity Collection keep us wanting more. It's true – this jewelry line really speaks to us. And the company's roots have a lot to do with it:

Heather Nashelle Straw always thought she would grow up to be a shoe designer or dress maker. Believe it or not, she admits that jewelry design didn't feel as natural to her. However, that quickly changed – after studying metal arts at the University of Alaska Southeast, a whole new world of design was revealed to her; one that was inspired by simplicity and the combining of metals & stones. All of a sudden Heather started paying close attention to the changing of seasons, the beauty in nature and the many facets of women. And that's when she started her own jewelry line – Nashelle! She would spend all day designing & creating on her living room floor and would sell her jewelry just by wearing it in public. From that point on, she worked diligently to turn her new-found passion into her lifelong career.

Now over twelve years later, Nashelle is a team of 20 talented designers, jewelry makers and office assistants. Each & every piece is handmade in their warehouse in Bend, Oregon from recycled 14k gold fill and sterling silver materials, as well as natural gemstones. The pride Heather takes in her work, along with her vision, truly make her designs wearable works of art. 

Pretty inspiring story, huh? Just wait until you see the jewelry line in person. Join us this Thursday, April 18th – Sunday, April 21st for some shopping, champagne & cupcakes! And stay tuned, we'll be sharing more exclusive details about the event tomorrow...

Fall 2012 Buying Trip

Day 2 Recap

Day 2 of our buying trip started much like every other day - with coffee!  We stumbled upon a quaint little cafe a few blocks from the show that kind of reminded us of Bard Coffee (only not quite as good, of course!), and we went there every morning for the rest of our trip.  With caffeine in our system, we headed towards the Javits Center for our first day at Coterie...

Nashelle

Our first stop was Nashelle’s booth, and I can’t think of a better way we could have started the show.  Her jewelry is so unique; every piece is handmade and it truly shows in her fine details & craftsmanship.  Everything looked stunning as usual, but there were a couple standouts.  The first one was her mini collection - basically she made some of her best-sellers in a smaller size (something I really appreciate since I can’t wear heavy, large earrings all day).  Practical and still super stylish - it’s a win-win combination!  The other standout was Nashelle’s charm necklaces.  With a wide variety of charms, there was something there for everyone.  (Stay tuned - there’s talk about having a charm necklace trunk show in our stores sometime soon!) 

Butter by Nadia

If you’ve ever been in our stores, you’ve seen our wrap dresses by Butter.  They are a crowd favorite... and for good reason.  Their design, fabric and overall look sets them apart, and you will continue to see this for fall.  Color blocking was a big theme at their booth, along with mid-length and maxi-length skirts.  We’re excited about the new three-quarter length wrap dresses as well - it’s the perfect dress for any occasion!  You’ll want to wear it everyday (and you can!).

This necklace will be arriving in 4-6 weeks!
