A roundup of retail happenings
Coton Colors
Not only is Coton Colors a beloved local brand with national acclaim, but it’s also a brand that gives back. In 2024, they have focused their Giving Back Program on St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and Ruby’s Rainbow. Coton Colors creates customized products for each nonprofit, and a sizable portion of the sales are donated.
» Since entering into a partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2016, Coton Colors customers have helped the company raise more than $500,000.
This money ensures children receive the best possible care at no cost to their families.
The 2024 St. Jude items include a Happy Everything! attachment and a limited edition St. Jude mug.
The design is inspired by a St. Jude patient, Natalie, featuring hearts, butterflies, flowers and polka dots.
» A new addition to the Coton Colors home decor collection are candle holders.
Known for knowing how to help you set a table, it only made sense that the next item the company would launch would further help hosts set the tone with ambient lighting.
The holders, which come in small, medium and large sizes, are an extension of the brand’s Signature White and Iris Blue collections.
The candle holders are made for standard-size taper or pillar candles.
» 2024 marks the second year of the Coton Colors For Poppy Campaign, which brings awareness and support to individuals and families with Down syndrome via the big or mini poppy attachment.
The money raised is donated to Ruby’s Rainbow, a nonprofit that empowers those with Down syndrome to pursue higher education.
The collection name is inspired by Poppy, the daughter of a Coton Colors team member, who has Down syndrome.
