Looking to shop local as you decorate your home this season? You’re probably already familiar with the wide array of clothing and accessories available via DC-based brand Tuckernuck, but did you know that the retailer offers an incredible selection of housewares, too?
Here, we’re sharing more about all things Tuckernuck Home, thanks to the brand’s home and lifestyle senior director, Tori Mellott.
Q: When did the home section at Tuckernuck launch, and what is the ethos behind it?
A: Tuckernuck Home launched in 2023, and we’ve been expanding ever since by making our own product and bringing in uber-cool brands like La Double J, Sharland England, and Pentreath & Hall, as well as trusty stalwarts like Juliska, Vietri, Nest, and so many others! Just like our clothing, we want to make living and entertaining beautiful, easy, and fun for our customers.
With that ethos in mind, we strive to make versatile prints for our tablecloths and napkins that are washable, durable, and great-looking. We share juicy tips—like clever ways to set a table in a pinch and delicious and easy recipes—and offer the best plates, glasses, flatware, and home essentials to make it all happen.
Q: What are some of your proudest home offerings? What products stand out as extra special?
A: I’m so proud of the assortment we’ve curated—it’s very chic, if I do say so myself! It’s accessible and aspirational at the same time. We offer a range of styles to suit almost everyone’s vibe. Gift giving is a pillar of our home offering, so there’s a mountain of great gifts to choose from—we’ve got you covered.
Q: How do you go about selecting products to carry in the home section?
A: My rule of thumb is if I think the founders would buy it, I try to work it into the assortment. They all have such amazing and discerning taste, and our customers resonate with their aesthetic—they’re my guiding light!
Q: What products are customers especially loving, and why do you think this is?
A: Customers love our wipeable, reversible placemats. Not only are they functional and practical, but they’re also beautiful—the ultimate marriage of form and function.
Q: What are your favorite home giftables?
A: Our brass placecard holders are my personal favorite; this year, we’re offering articulated Nantucket baskets, little ears of corn, the sweetest strawberries, and our adorable brass frogs—I’ve gifted these to everyone I know. We also have shell candle holders by Carolina Irving & Daughters, wildly unique scented candles from Flamingo Estate, a great and playful assortment of cocktail napkins and cocktail picks, and the most elegant matchbox by Aerin. We have so many great giftables.
Q: Any home trends you’re especially excited about this year or any that you hope to see take off in the coming months?
A: Well, as any creative worth her salt would say—“We don’t follow trends—we follow our instincts!” But it’s true—we are our customers, so if we’re into something, our hunch is our gal will be too. We love the handmade feel that Sharland England’s splatterware dishes serve up. We’re also into Juliska’s super chic melamine that can withstand almost any toddler’s antics, and we’re loving our selection of stationery. There’s nothing quite as nice as writing a thank-you note on fine paper—chef’s kiss!
