The PennZone

PHILADELPHIA - PennZone -- Shydiva Co. was recently approached by TJX to sell their merchandise in TJMaxx and Marshalls brick and mortar stores. The multinational retailer believes that their consumer and the Shydiva Co. shopper might share similar goals when looking for fashion accessories. These points of intersection give the partnership great promise for success and staying power. COVID-19 has certainly shifted consumer behavior within the fashion and retail spaces, and we're thrilled to announce a collaboration that will meet the needs of the business and the consumer.

Shydiva Co. was founded in 2015 in the Greater Philadelphia Area, with the intent to create fabulous, high-quality statement pieces for the fierce woman. The accessories brand carries other products within the category but primarily focuses on selling their handbags. Shydiva bags are where quality meets affordability. They also possess those fun and fierce qualities that the brand prioritized from its inception. The handbags come in a range of colors and some have very distinct names such as Tracee, Jade and Corinne. Shydiva also has a Luxe Collection, which consists of luxury totes in varying neutral colors with cardholders to match. Shydiva Co. truly creates the "bags you can't live without."
