BLOOMINGDALE'S ANNOUNCES THE CAROUSEL @ BLOOMINGDALE'S: FEMALE FOUNDERS CURATED BY TIKA SUMPTER

 Bloomingdale's announced today The Carousel @ Bloomingdale's: Female Founders Curated by Tika Sumpter – a celebration of female entrepreneurs in honor of Women's History Month. Bloomingdale's is partnering with actress and producer Tika Sumpter to take over the retailer's Spring Carousel and showcase a curated assortment of must-have home, self-care, fashion, accessories, and kids' products from 50 female-founded and owned brands including Kaleidadope, Kim Hill, The Spice Suite, Candice Luther, Estelle Glassware, Cult Gaia, and more.

The Carousel will also feature products designed exclusively for Bloomingdale's from Tika's own brand, Fort Sumpter.  The Fort Sumpter x Bloomingdale's capsule collection is inspired by the fort of love, laughter, care, and respect Tika's parents built around their children. The collection was designed to tell the story of Tika's childhood, full of love through items that are committed to women, children, and joy.

"I'm so grateful that Bloomingdale's has entrusted me to curate amazing products from women owned and founded brands for The Carousel @ Bloomingdale's," said Tika Sumpter. "Boomingdale's is giving these women and their brands a platform to honor their success. It's a dream come true to be a part of this incredible moment to celebrate women and Women's History Month. Little Tika is smiling at me now in disbelief." 

From February 23 - April 24, the space within the 59th street flagship and online at Bloomingdales.com will be dedicated to amplifying female entrepreneurs and their products; a space where these women can tell their stories and inspire others. Throughout duration of the Carousel additional events and activations will take place including:
