The Grown up Wishlist

Posted on the 21 January 2016 by Katherine Anne Cutar @katherineannika
Wishlists never get old. Whether it's Christmas, birthday, or just a regular day, we've always had our must have's, materially speaking. Today, I'm gonna be sharing to you my "Grown Up Wishlist" from an NYC-based shop, Spring.
What is SPRING?
Inspired by the season and the street, Spring is a single shopping destination where people can discover amazing products and buy them directly from the brands and designers that make them. We want to make Spring a highly personal experience that captures the fun, beauty, and social joy of going shopping in the physical world. Inspired by the beautiful boutiques lining New York City's Spring Street in SoHo, the members of the Community Team of Spring created a brand to emulate the experience of having all these shops available in one place. 
Founded on 2013 in NYC by Alan Tisch, David Tisch, Ara Katz & Octavian CostacheLocated at The Flatiron neighborhood of  New York CityWith over 850+ brands with dozens joining each weekThey have 40,000+ items which are all perfectly buyable
Haven't I told you they have a mobile app? Now shopping is made easier. The new app Spring was launched in the iTunes App Store last August 2014 (it's now available on Android devices as well). According to one of the founders, "Spring solves that problem by creating an experience where customers can shop directly from the brands they love all in one place as well as discover new ones, with a single swipe."
The name “Spring” was inspired by the shopping destination Spring Street, in New York City’s SoHo, and like most of the shops on Spring Street, the app is meant for the modern high/low shopper, who buys key luxury pieces and mixes them with fast-fashion. -- Vogue.com
