Project Bly

Inspired by the intrepid journalist Nellie Bly, who traveled around the world in 72 days, we’re setting off on our own journey—one that will take us to the markets of a new city, in a new country every two months. Our website will feature a changing, thoughtfully-curated collection of exceptional textiles, art, jewelry and unique objects for your home, as well as original photography of the streets we wander in search of the best bazaars.

No matter where we go—from Bombay to Bolivia and everywhere in between—our philosophy remains the same. At Bly we believe in stories and history, craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind. We’re committed to the idea that there is something special in the hand-to-hand transaction, and we go out of our way to find it. Above all, we believe that a city is a living, breathing organism, and to get to know it you have to wander its streets, the veins that fork and converge and inevitably lead you to its heart—the marketplace.
