WHERE WE BUY, AND FROM WHOM
The Mercantile is our shop off the lobby. Books about this place, leather, ceramics, and the things you forgot to pack — stocked in the same spirit the rooms were built: fewer things, better made.
We buy from makers directly rather than through distributors. Most are small, most are Western, and a good number work here in Jackson — including the craftspeople who built the shop’s woodwork to order.
Every month we make room for a pop-up, often women-owned, and run events that put those makers in front of guests and the town.
Small Makers, Mostly Woman
A selection built around the West — small makers first, sourced locally where we can, and nothing you’d find in an airport. Gather Goods, Mursell’s, Ramona Press, Kong Screenprinting, Wizened Oak Leathercraft, Jungmaven, IvyIvyIvy, Yuketen, Craig Hill, Fox and Lupine, Maude, Native Union, James Paper, RAEN, Incausa, and Persephone. Plus books about this place, from Wildsam, Phaidon, and Penguin Random House.
