"Every year, nora fleming enthusiasts bring new and delightful ideas for our upcoming collections," said founder, Nora Napientek, "We choose them based on cultural moments such as the soccer ball to commemorate the biggest soccer tournament, trends such as a new national love of mahjong and causes such as the 'creative quill' mini that raises money for our future artists at The Chicago Academy of Arts. This year we translated a trend we noticed, a penchant for our grandmother's plastic porch geese. So we developed the 'porch pal' mini with her ribbon neck bow that sold out three times and found a new audience of TikTokers. Our collector community is multigenerational, starting with Boomers/GenXers, their Millennial daughters and now their GenZ granddaughters. For Q4, we continued in the vintage direction with quintessential white ice skates, a rosy Santa face and pink holiday tree, a throwback to the 1950's ceramic Christmas trees."
