Many of us are rediscovering our personal style as we return to work, school, and daily activities. If you are anything like myself, then home decor has also been included as a part of your 2021 makeover, which makes the timing of this collaboration perfect.

These collabs are part of American Express’s recent “Let’s Go Shop Small” campaign, which included a more than $100 million commitment to inspire consumers to support small businesses globally through its year-round Shop Small efforts.

The product drops are exclusively available on NTWRK for 24 hours ahead of public sales at each small business, which will be available throughout the weekend of August 20.

Here is what Walter Frye, Vice President of Global Brand Engagement and Design had to say about this partnership.

“Small businesses are the fabric of our communities and the reasons they feel vibrant and unique. We want to support small businesses every day and this partnership brings together some of today’s hottest designers with their favorite small business owners to produce limited-edition drops that will amplify the importance of shopping small this summer."

Make sure you keep an eye out for these exclusive drops in the coming weeks.
