Anthropologie's Secret Shopper

Don't you just love the home section of Anthropologie? The eclectic, diverse look of their glasses, dishes, linens, furniture and decorative accents are unlike any other store, much less a national retailer. But have you ever wondered who picks out these great finds and where on earth do they discover them? Now you can find out and go along for the adventure.


Anthropologie-Style

A new TV show on Sundance Channel called MAN SHOPS GLOBE premiers October 7th and follows Keith Johnson, buyer-at-large for the innovative retailer, as he travels six months of the year exploring and shopping everywhere from flea-markets in Paris to remote artist's studios in Turkey. The half-an-hour show will follow Keith as he travels in France, Turkey, South Africa, Holland, India, U.K., Tunisia, Argentina. Whew, and this is just the first 8 episodes!

In each new destination he meets up with an expert to discover the very best in local design. The show will also feature the artists including sculptors, glass-blowers, weavers, painters, and more.
Here is a sneak peek of Keith shopping in Holland, India, and Tunisia. I am so jealous of his job and can't wait to watch the show!

Wow - we finally found a job better than mine. I'm quitting tomorrow and working on "shopping for cool stuff for a living!"

Sundance Channel? Sigh. Pretty sure I don't get that one.
