Anthropologie

Earlier this week, our home office was transformed into a baking battleground for our annual holiday bake-off! The competition was fierce, but after much deliberation (and sampling), we crowned a White Chocolate Cranberry Tart with Graham Cracker Crust as the winner 🍰 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated, and of course, a special shoutout to our brave judges who took on the extremely tough task of sampling an impressive array of sweets! We’re already counting down the days until next year’s bake-off 🧁

We recently hosted our first-ever (!) social media and digital summit: The Anthro Algorithm. Our Home Office welcomed representatives from Meta, TikTok, Google & YouTube, and Pinterest to share new ways to strengthen customer connections across ever-changing digital platforms. Through these conversations, we're excited to bring more creativity and innovation than ever to our social channels in the new year!

Next up in our #MerryMakers series, we’re taking you to our Anthropologie Walnut Creek store, where the holiday season is equal parts electric, inspiring, and FUN. The team embodies the festive spirit, from looking after one another to creating unforgettable guest experiences. What’s everyone excited about? Cashmere sweaters, cozy blankets, Terrain garlands, and ALL the charms are topping the list. But what truly makes this store shine? The people. A core team of seasoned employees welcomes new and returning seasonal hires with open arms, ensuring everyone feels equipped to thrive. Led by their 5-Star Stylist Luciana, the team creates magical in-store moments and events throughout the season for customers. From DJs to live bands, the soundtrack of the season has everyone singing, dancing, and soaking in the joy. At Walnut Creek, the holiday magic never misses a beat.

Thrilled to share that Anthropologie has been featured as the best place to purchase all your holiday host gifts by Food & Wine 🎁   From charming kitchen accessories to cozy home accents, our curated selection makes gifting easy and meaningful.    A big thank you to Cheryl Fenton for spotlighting these special finds and helping us inspire joyful gatherings all season long.   🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gyJFuBSm

With the holiday season in full swing, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to an incredible group of people – people who bring the magic of Anthropologie to life for our community day in and day out – the thousands of store associates across the country making our company shine.    Every day they show up with dedication, warmth, and a commitment to helping our customers find exactly what they are looking for. The season can be busy, and at times, a bit overwhelming, but their hard work and positivity create the magic that brings the holidays to life for so many people. Every week I look forward to our #MerryMakers series to see what store is highlighted and the amazing team members who make it all possible.    Thank you for everything you do. I’m proud of this team every day, but especially during this season, when your care, enthusiasm, and energy make such an impact.

We’re kicking off our #MerryMakers series this week with a spotlight on our Anthropologie store in Dallas! In its third season since relocating, Knox is embracing the holidays in full swing – and it's nothing short of magical. This year, the team kicked off festivities with a local charity initiative and a pop-up market spotlighting small, local businesses, bringing the spirit of the season to the heart of the community. From monogrammed candles to cashmere must-haves, the team is all-in on creating unforgettable shopping moments with their signature “WHO, WHO & YOU” approach: 🛍️ Who are you shopping for? 🛍️ Who else are you shopping for? 🛍️ What are YOU shopping for? Every unboxing, fitting-room touch, and customer interaction reflects the people-first mindset that makes Knox a standout during the holidays. A favorite Knox holiday memory? Being named a Top Performing Store for the Southern region in 2023 – a testament to every late-night styling session and early shipment shift. This year, the team is ready to continue creating holiday magic, one customer at a time.

This week, we hosted an exclusive celebration at our new Brooklyn store. ✨ Guests enjoyed a curated experience with a specialty food display by Bad Taste by Jen Monroe, custom cocktails by Dirt Martini, live music from DJ Hanna Salem, and a personalized charm bar by Jet Set Candy. It was the perfect opportunity to shop our holiday collection and take home unique charms to add a festive touch to holiday glassware.

🌟 Meet our Five-Star Stylist, Amanda 🌟 Three years ago, Amanda joined the team as a stylist in pursuit of curiosity and creativity. "Sharing my enthusiasm and expertise about our products while curating looks for guests is fun and rewarding," she says. "Being surrounded by a team of kind, fun-loving, and equally passionate colleagues inspires me and keeps me excited about styling." Amanda's styling approach starts with listening to the guest and asking the right questions about their lifestyle. From there, she sets the customer up for future styling success. "From fit to proportions, and versatility to accessorizing, I try to cover the styling principles to inspire the guest and take the guesswork out of styling the pieces at home," she says. As for what's next, Amanda plans to continue to grow and pay it forward. "I hope to mentor future stylists, become a go-to resource for others, and continue to build a bigger community in our area through events and outreach," she says. Stay tuned to hear more of our featured stylists' stories. In the meantime, book a (free!) styling appointment to meet the pros near you 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e2fFFcBH

We shopped, we sipped, we snacked, and we celebrated the season! ✨ Our Holiday Pop-Up Markets brought festive fun to stores nationwide, featuring amazing local vendors like Kelsie Bennett, a talented YoungArts Alum, who showcased her beautiful handmade jewelry, and Cardigang, who taught customers the art of knitting.  A huge thank you to our incredible teams for transforming our stores into holiday havens and making this season extra special!

Today, our #MerryMakers series takes us to our Anthropologie in the heart of Houston. It truly feels like they’re hosting the most magical party all season long. Between holiday events and pop-up markets, there’s always a special surprise to delight. As the Store Manager shared, "My favorite days are when the energy is electric, and both customers and employees feel #ThatAnthroMagic the moment they walk through the door. There’s nothing quite like seeing smiles all around while offering that unexpected experience – whether it's the stylists helping customers find the perfect holiday outfit or the team putting together the perfect gifts." Holiday bar gadgets and glassware are at the top of this store's wishlist. They also shared: "You can't go wrong with the Icon glasses and a cocktail book. It is one for you, two for me gifting!" These #MerryMakers love to witness that magical moment when a customer comes in feeling overwhelmed by holiday to-dos, and they jump in to help. By the end, the customer has checked off everything on their list – and even treated themselves to something special. The Store Manager put it best: "There’s nothing more rewarding than when they leave excited for the season, grateful for an experience unlike any other retailer."
