This summer, Crate & Kids is partnering with Baby2Baby to raise funds to help provide critical items to students in need so they can thrive in the classroom. For every Crate & Kids backpack purchased this summer, we’ll donate $1 to Baby2Baby. To all our customers and associates who are supporting this initiative, THANK YOU! So far, we’ve raised more than $70K through backpack sales and donations at checkout. If you’re getting ready for back-to-school, gear up and give back with our exclusive lineup of backpacks. They come in just-right sizes, are personalizable, and always ship free! Check it out at crateandbarrel.com/kids/. #crateandbarrel #crateandkids #giving

The struggles, grit, disappointments. resiliency, triumphs and so much gratitude for the journey often get simplified (or not even shown) in our concise LinkedIn profiles.

Did somebody say “ice cream”? We did! This week, we enjoyed sharing conversations and cool treats with Joanne Ybe of Milky Milky Ice Cream. Jojo started her business during the pandemic, and we had the privilege of sharing a Loud and Proud treat and hearing her story. Jojo, thank you for sharing your thoughts on representation and connection, your insights on ice cream and small businesses, and of course for sharing your flagship flavor. For Jojo and other LGBTQ+ business owners, June is a very busy month. At CBH, we know home is for everyone, always. Let’s continue to uplift and raise diverse voices all year long.

“What’s fascinating is that, unlike some other companies, the production is not outsourced but is entirely done in-house by professionals such as creatives, photographers, stylists, craftsmen, and set designers.” –Sergio Bucher, Member of the Executive Board, Retail & Brands at Otto Group It’s true, we have a team of more than 120 associates producing gorgeous assets now for Crate & Barrel’s 2024 holiday season. We also have positions available. Visit jobs.crateandbarrel.com for information on our Art Director, Styling Manager, and Stock Coordinator roles, and apply today. Sergio Bucher, thanks to you and and our other Otto Group board members, Petra Scharner-Wolff, Marcus Ackermann, Annette Siragusano, and CEO Alexander Birken for visiting.

30 degrees and sunshine? That can certainly bring about some #Christmas spirit – at least at the headquarters of Crate & Barrel Holdings, Inc.. Last week, I was on site in Chicago with my fellow board members, and I was impressed by the dedication and passion to create an excellent customer experience. Surrounded by the scent of cinnamon, homemade cookies, and a pre-Christmas atmosphere, we had the opportunity to take a brief detour into the production for the 2024 Christmas campaign in our own, very impressive photo studio. We also reviewed the products planned for the season in the mock store. In this context, we couldn’t resist fully immersing ourselves in the Christmas atmosphere and taking a picture. Creating a great #customer #experience involves not only the presentation of products in the store but also the creation of numerous assets like the website, newsletters, and even print catalogs. What’s fascinating is that, unlike some other companies, the production is not outsourced but is entirely done in-house by professionals such as creatives, photographers, stylists, craftsmen, and set designers. I am thrilled by the attention to detail that the colleagues on site bring to their work. Many thanks to the entire Crate and Barrel and CB2 team on site for the diverse insights.

Reilly Kelley, Whitney Bohne, Jaden Lee, Alicia Langlais, Hang Nguyen, Benjamin Goldfarb, Sara Azimipour, and Elizabeth (Betsy) Delaney, we’re so glad you’re spending the summer with us! #crateandbarrel #cratejob #summer #intern
