A (TA)ste of The Future
T.A. is a conceptual boutique based in New York City
championing marginalized designers and creating a space for discovery!
Project Description
In just one year, t.a. has become a contemporary staple in the New York City retail community. Highlighting both established labels and up-and-coming names in the industry our concept store finds beauty in discovery and sharing it with sartorial lovers.
#TANEWYORK provides a renewed outlook towards luxury living and intentional buying! We're now looking to expand our in-house team and grow our community in cities that aren't familiar with our carefully curated brand matrix.
Expanding t.a., will close the gap between contemporary designers and untapped markets full of consumers looking to discover and invest in unparalleled clothing.
Our Summer Pop-Up Series: In summer 2023, t.a. plans to expand to a temporary space in Los Angeles. The pop-up series will run annually and give opportunity to communities outside of New York who seek what Soho House's editorial team called, "a fresh perspective on what constitutes modern-day luxury."
During the pop-up series t.a. plan's to activate the space with contemporary clothing and home goods, global partners, local creatives, and offer a platform to other small Black businesses.
Team Growth: In an effort to push forward we're looking to hire a part-time business manager! Our future part-time business manager will be responsible for pushing our brand forward and maintaining t.a. from a business standpoint.
t.a. has had the opportunity to share our story on varying media platforms. In interviews with Vogue, Architectural Digest, CFDA, Coveteur, The Cut, NY Times, and more — the owner and buyer of t.a., Telsha Anderson, has emphasized the work of Black designers, creatives, and small businesses.
Our owner and buyer Telsha Anderson has experience in retail, marketing, social media, and brand management. Her education from Syracuse University and NYU's School of Professional Studies master's program aids in her management of #TANEWYORK.
As always, we're open to collaborating with brand partners who are interested in the evolution of retail. The future of retail starts here!
