REWINED

Rewined Candles are a mix of some of our favorite things: creativity, gorgeously scented candles, eco responsibility and (last but not least) wine. The South Carolina company transforms used wine bottles into containers for premium soy wax candles with lush, (ha!) custom-blended fragrances. Each candle is poured and labeled by hand, with the individual candlemaker's stamp of approval. But wait, there's more!

Rewined has added bar soaps to their line and we love lathering up with these beauties. In scents like Pinot Noir, Rosé and Champagne (how apropos), we know you'll adore them, too. These handcrafted, small batch bars are cold processed and crafted with natural, nourishing ingredients like olive, coconut and soybean oils.

Upgrade your lather game! Come to #thenoke to peep these fab soaps (and candles) by one of our favorite makers. 

We're Renegades

We Trovesters started going to the now legendary Renegade Craft Fair in September of 2013, a few months before The Trove opened. Our first foray into all things Renegade occurred on Division Street in Chicago. We kicked off the day with some fantastic Bloody Mary's and thus began a beautiful and productive tradition (drinking + shopping = fun)!

Trovesters have been present at various Renegade fairs and pop-ups in a handful of spots and each one has been unique and inspiring. If you've never been, Renegade Craft Fairs are such a well-edited, high-quality makers' fair that brings together indie businesses with cool, indie- loving buyers and shoppers. It's always a scene and we always leave having made new connections, new friends and with our wallets a little (or a lot) lighter. 

Originally, we felt going to the Renegade productions in Chicago would lead us to some great Midwestern makers. While this did indeed happen, we've also met folks and businesses that hail from California, Austin and Vancouver! Renegade curates the best of the best and brings them all to our fingertips and we couldn't be more grateful for that. Lines such as Fail Jewelry, Alana Douvros, Late Sunday Afternoon, Parasol Paper Press, All Good Things and so much more, have, and still do, grace the shelves at The Trove.

Our latest Renegade adventure was in Los Angeles and while we're always good at keeping secrets, we have some exciting things making their debut in #thenoke very soon.

Imaginary Authors

Fragrance is always a very personal purchase. Certain notes can sing to your soul while others fall flat. Blending various notes to create unique fragrances that evoke emotion and captivate the senses takes immense knowledge and expert skill so it's not often we run across an indie perfume brand that hits the notes perfectly. That pun was intended, by the way...

Out of Portland, Oregon comes Imaginary Authors, a niche line for women and men with fragrances that are complex and layered, just like a favorite novel. The lines boasts 11 fragrances, each with evocative names and poetic stories that go along with them. We love spending time on their website because reading about each unique fragrance feels like into tucking into a good book.

One of our favorites is Yesterday Haze, which contains notes of fig, iris, cream tonka, tree bark, walnut bitters and orchard dust. Says the website:

"The seductive, dreamlike quality of this scent works like a magnet. Use it liberally during the day and, as it lingers into night, watch as those around you are lured into your sphere."

Sounds good to us!

“Life is a series of blank pages and it is up to one’s self whether to fill those pages with tedious prose or wildly imaginative storylines.”
— Josh Meyer, Imaginary Authors perfumer

Well, aren't you S'well?!

We Trovesters will accessorize at any and every turn. From sleek tech gadgets to the perfect salt mills in our kitchens to stylish pouches for the most mundane of items, we heart accessories. So when it comes to the ubiquitous water bottle, we want something a lot more stylish and a lot more eco-friendly. The S'well bottle hits the spot not only for it's polished silhouette but because it keeps hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold for amazing lengths of time. And because we can fit a whole bottle of wine in the 25 ounce size.

 

We also really love to accessorize our accessories so we simply adore A + D Monogram Designs for their durable, custom vinyl decals. Choose colors, sizes and fonts to create bespoke monograms or phrases that adhere to the bottle, ensuring your S'well stands out from the crowd!

To Market, To Market

We Trovesters go to great lengths to bring the freshest goodies to our corner of Northeast Indiana. We search high and low during  our personal travels and a few times a year, we assemble at the best wholesale markets to divide and conquer. We find not only fantastic pieces we just know  you'll love but also make new friends, strengthen our team bonds and consume more than our fair share of vino after long days on our feet. We love (almost) every single second. Take a peek at our latest expedition to the famed AmericasMart Atlanta. This massive wholesale market features an exhilarating yet exhausting seven million square feet. Yes, SEVEN MILLION! Our FitBit bands didn't know what hit 'em...

Trovesters REPRESENT! Just for the record, that's iced coffee in Melani's cup, not wine as you might have first suspected.

The labyrinth of hell...AKA Building 3 (of 4 total buildings). New tees, books, jewelry, linens and furniture found! 

Look for these stunning candle lanterns at The Trove, arriving soon!

Leslie, with one of our fab sales reps, placing a jewelry order.

Can't wait to add this new line to our jewelry department.

Placed a BIG order for these retro style Newgate clocks.

Love love love these cutie canvas totes.

We always have fun in the Ben's Garden booth.

Not so bad to be indoors on a dreary, foggy day.

These pretty throws and pillows have us dreaming of Spring!

Not everything's a winner. You won't be finding this one at The Trove...

And another item we won’t be bringing back.

Wine vs. Food --- there's a clear favorite.

New Bed Stu!

You're going to fall in love with new Barefoot Dreams for littles.

Kitchen islands, awesome tables and  accent pieces - Leslie was clearly having a blast at this booth.

It's imperative to practice restorative yoga poses throughout the day.

Whew! We're exhausted all over again.

Stay tuned for the impending arrivals of our many new finds!

Turkish Delight

We Trovesters have become devotees of Turkish towels in recent years. These thin yet oversized swaths of fabric are surprisingly absorbent, but also quick drying, and get softer with each wash. Turkish cotton is a premium material with extra long fibers, making the result stronger and smoother than traditional cotton terry towels .

Even better is that these Turkish towels come in chic prints and colors, making them super versatile as wraps, beach sarongs, picnic blankets and tablecloths. 

Once you make the switch, you'll be hooked. Come shop our newest, simply gorgeous, hand loomed arrivals from Turkish T.

Personalized Presents

There are few gifts as thoughtful as those that are personalized. Giving such an item means you've put effort and time into the gift, which is sometimes more treasured by the recipient than the item itself. We're beyond happy to have partnered with local small biz, A + D Monogram Design, to bring you fun, modern ways to customize everyday items, elevating them into stylish, coveted pieces. 

A + D Monogram Designs offers chic, clear acrylic keychains, business card holders and pencil cups for you to emblazon. Or, adorn your car door, laptop, phones and tablets or S'well bottles. With a multitude of color options and monogram styles, printed on premium adhesive nylon, the only thing holding you back is your imagination.

There's still time left to line up some personalized presents for your stylish loved ones. Stop by The Trove ASAP to get your custom monograms then just pretend you did it ages ago...

We're open Tuesday and Wednesday from 11 - 5pm and Thursday from 11 - 3pm. See you soon!

It's a Wrap

We Trovesters are BIG fans of Barefoot Dreams. Unbelievably soft, sophisticated color palette, chic wearability...what's not to love? This Bamboo Chic Lite Bohemian Wrap is generously sized for a cozy but polished piece that will be your go-to piece this Winter. Pair it with denim, dresses or even your pajamas - it works elegantly with almost everything, in almost every season. 

 

These lovelies have just landed at The Trove. Come snap yours up while you can!

FOR HIM

Yes, we know we pack a lot in for the ladies but we pride ourselves on stocking plenty of stylish gift options for the gents. From chic barware we're confident 007 himself would love to cool travel accessories to effective, anything but boring skincare (and much more in between), we have every kind of fellow covered.  

Come in to see our full selection and we'll be more than happy to help you find the perfect present. Better yet, bring your man to our December Happy Hour on the 10th so he can scope out a few faves and make it easy on you already!
