<p>But Anthropologie is also where many a small maker gets her first big break — even if it&#8217;s just one greeting card on its enormous website. Not only does Sally undertake the enormous task of selecting each maker to tell certain trend stories across every inch of Anthropologie retail space (both actual + virtual), she also offers consulting services to help brands get shelf-ready. </p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-63964" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-63964 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="63964" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-10014012 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites tag-design tag-greeting-cards tag-letterpress tag-sarah-schwartz tag-shorthand tag-stationery tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-design tag-stationery-designer tag-superbloom tag-thank-you-stationery" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/the-eternal-superbloom-summer/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?w=1200&;ssl=1 1200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=850%2C845&;ssl=1 850w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=1030%2C1024&;ssl=1 1030w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1 100w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=770%2C766&;ssl=1 770w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=120%2C120&;ssl=1 120w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=275%2C273&;ssl=1 275w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=372%2C372&;ssl=1 372w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=567%2C567&;ssl=1 567w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=882%2C882&;ssl=1 882w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=752%2C748&;ssl=1 752w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=300%2C300&;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SuperBloomCardGroup_pink_bg_sq.jpg?resize=50%2C50&;ssl=1 50w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/the-eternal-superbloom-summer/">The Eternal Superbloom Summer</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2023-10-17T18:22:33+00:00">October 17, 2023</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="10014012"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>

<p>Sally and I delve into defining the Anthropologie magic — ;and the nuts and bolts of generating it. How does she navigate the overstimulation of trade shows to ascertain the trend stories to fill store shelves? What catches Sally&#8217;s eye — and what are the design must-haves on a given product? With that kind of perspective and drive, I was thrilled to have audience with her here, and accordingly, this is the first of two episodes of our interview!</p>
