We’re longtime fans of Coral & Tusk, a line of textiles featuring hand-drawn illustrations and delicate embroidery. Designer Stephanie Housley has created heirloom quality pillows, stuffed animals, tableware and gifts, featuring delicate metallic threads, whimsical characters and a dreamy color palette. The new designs for Fall/Winter will bring beauty, warmth and texture to your home, and the holiday collection of table textiles and decor accents make for tasteful, chic gifts.
Swells of Summer
New Swell styles have arrived, just in time for summer picnics, adventures and parties al fresco!
We adore all our Swell bottles, due to their ability to keep hot things hot for 12 hours, cold things cold for 24 hours, and all while remaining comfortable to the touch, thanks to triple walled construction.
In addition to the classic style and sizes, the company continuously introduces new models, like tumblers and travelers, as well as corresponding accessories. The latest launch is the Roamer, in 40 oz and 64 oz options. Meant for holding sharable liquids (we're thinking of our favorite IPA right now), this style is an elegant take on the growler, and pairs perfectly with the small tumblers. The Roamer also has a handle that can be clipped to backpacks, kayaks, bikes and the like, with the carabiner of your choice, making it a handy addition to every outdoor excursion.
Sip by Swell offers a more casual, cheerful take on the company's more classic bottle styles, letting personalities shine through with wide array of playful prints and bold color options. The Sip bottles hold 15 oz, hot and cold, are double-walled, and feature leak-proof cap. We're particularly smitten with the adorable donut print style the company calls Frosted, because, well, donuts.
Start prepping for summer and shop all our Swell styles. They make for great grad and dad gifts, as well!
Market Finds
Team Trove's approach to seasonal market shopping is divide and conquer. It's helpful for us to check out different markets with fresh eyes, so we often switch things up and try new spots, meeting new faces, seeing new places and always discovering something cool and unique. Here's an amuse bouche of our latest discoveries.
Trovester Mark went to the Atlanta gift show, where he found a scarf line made with Italian suiting fabrics, and a new line of throw blankets from Malibu Luxxe.
Trovester Kate had to tear herself, and her husband, away from the ski trails in her beloved Big Sky to meet Jodi and Melani in Dallas.
Kate met with the co-founder of jewelry line My Saint My Hero, Amy D'Ambra, and we all settled in for "The House That Pinterest Built: A Conversation with Diane Keaton", based on the actress, director and author's new book of the same name.
Trovester Jodi found some lovely, rustic entertaining and decor pieces, as well as new additions to our growing apothecary department.
We'll have all manner of new goods rolling into the store in the coming weeks and months we just know you'll love. Come see us in #thenoke!
Direct From Big Sky Country
When Trovester Kate opened up The Trove West in her cherished Big Sky, Montana, we were thrilled - not only for her, but also for the treasures she'd find and inevitably share with us here in the Midwest. While she takes some of our Indiana gems out west, she also brings back indie designers and brands we wouldn't otherwise have access to. Scroll through Kate's latest finds to hit #thenoke from Big Sky Country...
Allison Kallaway Jewelry
Spotted at an area market, Kate instantly knew jewelry by local designer Allison Kallaway would be a hit at Trove West and at the mother ship. Known for her strong metalsmithing skills, the designer found inspiration while working for the Peace Corps as an Art Educator in Botswana. Her modern industrial style includes myriad African design elements influenced by her travels.
Blue Moose Metals
Found at a gift show in Billings, Montana, Kate fell in love with these laser cut, hand finished, metal bottle openers, inspired by nature. These functional tools are attractive and comfortable to hold, and the magnetized back means it'll always be within reach. Blue Moose Metals bottle openers make for great gifts for the beer lovers on your list.
Dandy Jewelry
Kate discovered Dandy Jewelry, by artist and designer Andrea Lithgow, at a gift show in Las Vegas. This New Orleans, LA line is the product of childhood crafting. With a love of texture, color and patterns, Lithgow eventually started working with clay, developing one-of-a-kind glazing effects that have become her signature look.
Montana Leather Designs
Montana Leather Designs is a popular and nationally recognized leather brand that Kate enjoys giving as gifts. The fun and colorful leather bracelets are paired with silver plated zinc or pewter beads and clasps and everything is crafted in designer Olive Parker's western Montana studio.

Give Great Scents
We love giving gorgeous little gifts for the holidays, especially when said gifts are made by Indiana based artisans and makers. Enter Amber Blends, one of our fav-o-rite fragrance lines, that just so happens to be made just south of us in Indianapolis.
The range of unisex fragrances is unique and luxurious and features natural ingredients. The scents are sultry and warm, and as they mix with the wearer's unique chemistry, they deepen for a customized finish. We know women who've lost their bottles to their husbands and vice versa, so we're confident these fragrances are gifts anyone will enjoy.
Our sister store, The FIND, caught up with the owners of Ambre Blends to chat about the history of the company, current products and what we'll be wearing from them next year.
Read the blog post then come shop the comprehensive line of fragrances and bath & body products for those on your gift list - or for yourself (we won't tell).
Smell ya later!
Lip Service
In these dog days of Summer, we like to put on the least amount of makeup we can get away with. With a clean and simple face, a pop of color on the lips is the perfect warm weather look. Best of all, it's easy. We've long been smitten with Henné Organics' line of luxurious lip care products and now that they've added color, we've taken our relationship to the next level. As in, you'll always find at least one tube of Henné in our handbags at any given time. The classic balm is a no-brainer for the softest lips around and the scrubs are must-haves for flake-free puckers. Make them part of your regular daily and nightly skincare regime and you'll always be perfectly kissable, year round.
Henné Organics' Lip Tints are intensely hydrating and impart the most lovely, sheer, yet buildable, color. Azalea is vibrant and playful, while Bare is a delicate nude hue and is perfectly versatile. Coral adds a warm glow to any complexion, and Intrigue is a dark red that adds a hint of drama. All four shades complement every skin tone, thanks to the formula's luminous tint.
From left to right: Azalea, Bare, Coral & Intrigue.
Come try on these lovely, lippies for yourself!
Have a Swell Summer
We Trovesters are dedicated S'well enthusiasts. We're in love with the function of these bottles (they keep liquids hot for 12 hours or cold for 24!) but we'd be lying if we said we weren't head over heels with the look of these beauties. Sleek and stylish, and perfectly sized, we consider our S'well bottles a worthy fashion accessory.
As if we couldn't love them enough already, we came across this article online about the 30 Unhealthiest Drinks on the Planet. While we're encouraged to stay hydrated throughout each day, those ubiquitous plastic bottles are not only terrible for our planet but also for our bodies, as it turns out.
“The water isn’t the problem here; it’s the BPA in the bottle. BPA is a hormone-mimicking chemical found in nearly all food packaging plastics, and it’s potentially bad news. According to some pools of research, the chemical may promote cancer and render people infertile. To stay hydrated on the go, buy a BPA-free refillable bottle. We’re big fans of S’well bottles, which come in a wide array of fashionable patterns and color pallets.”
Perfectly suited for all your adventures...
S'well bottles are the ideal accessory for beach, lake and pool, as well as all your expeditions and travels. Seriously, our S'well bottle is the item we don't leave home without.
Home, office and on the go...
We pour our morning coffee into a S'well, instead of a mug these days. Our mid-morning, lunchtime and afternoon coffees, too.
Packing up for a picnic? The 25 oz holds a full bottle of wine. #justsaying
Even in a hot (or cold) car, your liquids will stay at the perfect temperature all day.
Swing by to shop our full selection of S'well or nab a limited-edition bottle on our online shop.
Tania Rodamilans
It's clear we Trovesters are obsessed with great jewelry. From classic styles to statement pieces, and at all price points, we love to stock the coolest and most unique pieces in the land. Our most recent jewelry crush is Tania Rodamilans. Originally from Barcelona, Spain, we ran across Rodamilans in her current city of Chicago, one of our favorite haunts.
Rodamilans' current collection features necklaces with interesting details, pieces that have the power to transform a simple t shirt into a look. With our penchant for neutral, clean cut staples, these pieces add just the dash of pizzazz we want each day.
Come to The Trove to check out what we have in store and then mark June 6th - 8th in your calendar for Rodamilans' trunk show.
