We are excited to bring together a curation of the best travel goods out there along with an exciting range of exclusive luggage in collaboration with Away,” said Olivia Kim, VP of creative projects at Nordstrom. “We hope that the shop serves as a one-stop-shop for our customer’s travel needs in the New Year and inspires their sense of adventure and exploration.”
