About Donations
"Sent to England from Deepest, Darkest Peru by his Aunt Lucy, Paddington has a fondness for marmalade sandwiches and mischief." - Michael Bond from the children's book Paddington Bear.
Thank you for your inquiry into Trunk Nouveau's philanthropy policy and donation procedures. Trunk Nouveau absolutely values its community and is committed to its well-being. We actively participate in the Stanley Marketplace's "Do Good, Be Good" committee and its community contributions. We also proudly donate 6% of each and every product purchased at Trunk Nouveau to the Spectacled Bear Conservation Society. The SBC funds conservation, provides women with jobs, and opens up communities to the idea of protecting critical bear habitats in Peru through education and active conservation. The visually-stunning and friendly Spectacled Bear also happens to be the inspiration for the adorable children's character: Paddington Bear.
"Bears like Paddington are very rare. And a good thing too, if you ask me, or it would cost a small fortune in marmalade."
Why Bears? Stanley Aviation manufactured ejection seats for military aircraft at its Aurora factory for decades. A true innovator in aviation, Robert Stanley saved many a life with his ejection seat legacy, but with that innovation came the somber reality that bears were sometimes the original test pilots. In an effort to pay tribute to those early parachuting bear test-pilots, we have selected the endangered Andean Spectacled Bear as Trunk Nouveau's official "Bearificiary" and will thus donate 6% of each and every item to the Spectacled Bear Conservation fund.
"Paddington has a habit of bringing People Closer Together."
We know that there are so many amazing charitable organizations out there and appreciate your understanding that, as a small business, we just are unable to support you all. We believe that saving the Spectacled Bear and his habitat sends a message of love, and we hope that other businesses will follow in our footsteps in truly committing a significant portion of their profits to a worthy organization. And, we believe that compassion is contagious.
Thank you for your interest in Trunk Nouveau.
Artist Submissions
Thank you very much for your interest in Trunk Nouveau. We value our community and all of the creative, diverse and eclectic artisans that live here. Trunk Nouveau specializes in carrying unique, affordable gifts and jewelry and we have always carried a large selection of locally made awesome-ness; however, we must stay within a specific price curve, as our customers would expect nothing less.
Please email your submission with photos and wholesale pricing or a website (such as an etsy store) and wholesale pricing to TrunkNouveau@gmail.com
Due to the amount of artisans interested in Trunk Nouveau representing their products, the buyers are just not able to meet with every single vendor who wants to show us their line. We also never meet with coldcall vendors, local or otherwise- as we are just too darn busy to do so.
Thank you again for your interest in Trunk Nouveau, and please feel free to contact us to request further information about our store, our products or our buying procedures.
