Many of us leave our holiday shopping until the last minute, but The Textile Museum Shop is holding several events this fall to inspire gift-givers to get a jump start this year.
The shop— voted as one of the ten best museum stores in the nation’s capital by National Geographic’s “Intelligent Travel” blog—offers a colorful selection of scarves, jewelry, books, fine fabrics and other handmade goods for sale. The stock is constantly changing and always unique. In conjunction with the museum’s two new fall exhibitions, Contemporary Japanese Fashion: The Mary Baskett Collection and Fabrics of Feathers and Steel: The Innovation of Nuno (on view from October 17, 2009 through April 11, 2010), visitors should expect to see fresh exhibition-related items for sale. The TM Shop is the only retailer in the DC Metro area carrying Nuno Corporation products, and its home decor from AMARIDIAN, a group of sub-Saharan designers, was recently featured in The Washington Post’s “Home and Garden” pages.
