Nashville, Tenn (March 21, 2012) Red Earth Trading Co. is an international direct trade company based out of Nashville, TN. This company was birthed in 2010 and works with artisans in Kenya and Uganda who hand craft quality jewelry, accessories and home goods. Red Earth imports these products and sells them throughout the United States and is owned by non-profit Global Support Mission. On April 5, Red Earth will open a unique pop-up store in Hillsboro Village (1817 21st Ave. South) and will close on April 21. Red Earth will launch their Spring 2012 line at this store.
"We're really excited to be opening a pop-up store in the heart of Hillsboro Village,” shares Red Earth founder and CEO Travis Gravette. “It's a fairly new concept here in Nashville, so we're excited to bring something fresh and unique to town."
Pop-up stores are becoming the trend in major cities where the storefront will “pop-up” one day and disappear shortly after opening. This temporary venue allows for a unique environment and engaging experience for the customer to purchase items not typically available.
