Nordstrom \u2014 whose nearly 400 locations include stores in White Plains and Stamford \u2014 has partnered with FAO Schwarz to create a second Manhattan home for the toy brand at the Nordstrom West Side flagship.<\/p>\n

\u201cNordstrom is a perfect partner for FAO Schwarz, with its long tradition of beautiful stores, unique and quality products and its commitment to the best in customer service,\u201d said David Niggli, chief merchandising officer, FAO Schwarz. \u201cBy bringing our two iconic brands together, we\u2019re creating an engaging experience where shopping becomes playful and full of wonder, while sharing our exclusive products, collaborations and retail theater through immersive demonstrations and experiences with Nordstrom customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The collaboration is designed to bring FAO Schwarz\u2019s most indelible moments to life, with toy soldiers, dance-on pianos, clock towers, plush animals and hands-on experiences, such as FAO-Abulous, which lets you design and accessorize your own handbag; FAO Doll, in which you select your swaddle, sign the birth certificate and bring your chosen baby doll home; \u00a0FAO Beauty, all about building your own makeup kit and color palette; and Brio Train Table, which lets you explore the Brio train collection.<\/p>\n

Brio, Bunnies by the Bay and Djeco are just some of the specialty brands available. There will also be toy launches exclusive to Nordstrom customers.<\/p>\n
