As an Arkansas native, owner Laci Bonner was first introduced to Nashville in 2015. Soon thereafter, she opened Revv, a women’s boutique, in the heart of Hillsboro Village. Working the store day in and day out, she saw a need for a timeless, classic Nashville souvenir. A few NASH hat shipments here and there led to a booming business within the business, and so The Nash Collection was born. The Nash Collection has since become widely known as a lifestyle brand driven by support of both locals and tourists. Spotted on celebrities, actors, and musicians, the brand caters to all those who love Nashville. In 2018, The Nash Collection opened a second floor retail store on Broadway. And in 2021, it relocated to the famous Fifth and Broadway development shared with neighbors like Tecovas, Ariat, Free People, and more. Laci and her team are excited to continue designing "NASH" apparel and accessories along with new collections. Stay tuned for what’s next as this business continues to evolve in ways unimaginable!
THE HISTORY OF NASHVILLE
Nashville, Tennessee boasts a rich history that blends tradition with innovation. Originally settled by European explorers in the late 1700s, Nashville quickly emerged as a pivotal hub for trading and culture. Its strategic location along the Cumberland River played a crucial role in its growth, transforming it into a thriving transportation and distribution center during the 19th century.
The city’s nickname, “Music City,” stems from its long-standing association with the music industry, with the Grand Ole Opry and the birth of country music adding unique chapters to its story.
Over the years, Nashville’s historic roots have merged seamlessly with a modern, vibrant spirit. The city’s role in the Civil Rights Movement, exemplified by the Civil Rights Room at the Nashville Public Library, showcases its commitment to progress and equality.
Today, Nashville’s skyline reflects its contemporary dynamism. Its preservation of historic districts like Germantown and a deep appreciation for its musical heritage continue to make it a beloved destination for travelers seeking an authentic taste of the past and the excitement of the present.
