The Dough Project Announces its Official National Retail Debut with a Curated Collection in Pop-In@Nordstrom Shops

NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- All-natural, plant-based playdough company, The Dough Project announced today that it has inked a deal to sell its products directly in 23 Pop-In@Nordstrom shops for a limited time. This marks the first time The Dough Project's playdough -- which only contains five ingredients but has infinite possibilities, will be available nationwide.

The Dough Project, which previously was only available in a few local boutique stores in the New York Metro area and online through its website, was founded by preschool teacher-turned-mompreneur, Chelsea Milkman whose mission has been to get both adults and little ones to think outside the jar. Using only all-natural ingredients (things you can find in your own pantry) and color from plant-based sources (like beets used in salads), The Dough Project is obsessed with creating products that are safe and high-quality, so kids can explore and play freely.

With this new retail agreement, The Dough Project products will be sold in Pop-In@Nordstrom shops -- which is an ongoing series of limited-time pop-up shops presenting new and exclusive products, designers and content built around a different theme or collaboration. This season, The Dough Project collection will be available starting October 22 in Pop-In@Nordstrom's holiday shop: Make It Pop-In@Nordstrom in the following markets as well as on nordstrom.com:

About Pop-In@Nordstrom:
Launched in October 2013, Pop-In@Nordstrom is an ongoing series of themed pop-up shops that transitions every four to six weeks to offer a new shopping experience and batch of new, often exclusive merchandise. Pop-In takes two forms: a shop curated around a theme featuring brands across different product categories (fashion, beauty, lifestyle, home/garden, sports/outdoors, etc.), or a partnership with a single brand to bring "the world of" to customers.

Pop-In@Nordstrom was built on a monthly rotation to keep customers coming back to discover new brands, new merchandise and create a fun and compelling experience in stores and online. Each shop features a mix of hand-picked merchandise spanning the high/low price range, with price points often starting at $5.

Pop-In@Nordstrom was the first initiative from the Nordstrom Creative Projects team, under the direction of Olivia Kim (Vice President of Creative Projects). In her role, Kim focuses on creating energy, excitement, and inspiration throughout the retailer's national locations.

Past Pop-In@Nordstrom partnerships have included (but are not limited to) : Aesop, Allbirds, Alexander Wang, Casper, Converse, Eileen Fisher, Everlane, Gentle Monster, goop, Hanes, Hatch, HAY, Liberty London's Flowers of Liberty collection, Maisonette, MCM, Nike, Opening Ceremony, Poketo, rag & bone, The Museum of Modern Art's MoMA Design Store, The North Face, Topshop/Topman, the U.S. debut of Hong Kong fashion collective I.T., VANS and Warby Parker.
