The new film Jurassic World Dominion doesn’t open at area theaters until June 10 but you can purchase film-themed products today at Bluffton’s Ten Thousand Villages, 115 S. Main.
Ten Thousand Villages is the exclusive retail launch partner for the Jurassic World x Accompany collection and Bluffton is one of 49 such stores in the United States. The mission-driven, fair trade collection includes homewares and accessories for adults and children, all handcrafted by artisan non-profits in India and Nepal.
The collection celebrates traditional techniques from wood carving to hand weaving and includes Jurassic World-inspired home, living and kitchenware as well as children’s items. Some products are identifiable with film’s iconic T. rex skeleton, while others feature abstract dinosaur texture and teeth prints.
Additionally, drawing on Jurassic World’s feminist themes of trailblazing women in STEM, the Jurassic World x Accompany collection works to protect and empower women’s rights in underserved communities around the world.
