Anthropologie announced on Monday an expanded partnership with Nest, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering artisans and makers, as part of Women’s History Month. 

The enhanced collaboration will include a six-month fellowship program, which will provide five recipients with mentorship from key Anthropologie team members and the opportunity to sell their work commission-free through Anthropologie’s stores and digital marketplace beginning in the fall.

To celebrate the launch of this expanded partnership and to honor Women’s History Month, Anthropologie will also host a series of special events. On March 6 in New York City, Anthropologie will hold a Women’s History Month panel discussion featuring key executives from both Anthropologie and Nest, alongside local artisans and makers, to explore the impact of creative entrepreneurship. 

Likewise, on March 8, Anthropologie stores in New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago will host Nest artisans and makers for exclusive community pop-up markets, offering customers a chance to shop unique products while supporting local women-led businesses.

Lastly, as part of its ongoing commitment to women’s empowerment, Anthropologie is also pledging a $100,000 annual corporate donation to support Nest’s mission.

“We’re honored to kick off Women’s History Month by announcing the expansion of our partnership and fellowship program with Nest,” said Kate Haldy, head of PR, communications, and Impact at Anthropologie Group. 

“Over the past two years, we have been deeply inspired by the incredible work our friends at Nest are doing to uplift and empower artists and makers across the country. We are excited to deepen our commitment to this impactful journey, expanding our support and creating even greater opportunities for these talented communities in 2025 and beyond.”

Gap-owned Banana Republic has partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products to launch an exclusive capsule collection on March 6 inspired by HBO’s Emmy-winning series, “The White Lotus”.

Drawing inspiration from the series’ third season, set in Thailand, the collection channels the essence of wanderlust through fashion. The 24-piece collection features ultra-packable men’s and women’s apparel and accessories, in a palette of turquoise, navy, red, and yellow, complemented by graphic prints and fluid silhouettes.

Key pieces include lightweight knits and relaxed, resort-ready pieces, made in fabrics such as sustainable European Flax linen, lightweight cotton poplin, and 100% silk

“Our heritage, rooted in travel, meets the world of The White Lotus with a thoughtfully crafted collection that is both aspirational and attainable,” said Meena Anvary, head of marketing for Banana Republic. 

“This collection celebrates a sense of discovery and wit through a premium lens. Featuring tropical and vintage-inspired prints from our archives and landscapes of Thailand — it embodies the spirit of adventure.”

The collection launches with a campaign starring “The White Lotus” season 3 cast member Patrick Schwarzenegger alongside model, podcast host, and “The White Lotus” aficionado, Shanina Shaik.

“The Banana Republic The White Lotus collaboration brings the show to life with the perfect mix of effortless and vacation style,” said Schwarzenegger. “Banana Republic’s attention to quality and craftsmanship with this collection is impressive.”

The collection will launch in 26 select stores nationwide and online. Prices range from $40 to $300.
