This move will allow customers to purchase a selected range of H&M products directly through Nordstrom’s online platform. The initial H&M offerings available on the Nordstrom Marketplace include specially curated favorites for women, men, and children, along with the brand’s sport collection called [H&M Move](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens). The company notes that its selection will be updated regularly with new arrivals to keep the assortment fresh across seasons. By partnering with Nordstrom, H&M gains visibility among shoppers who already frequent that platform. Nordstrom, on the other hand, provides its standard services for these purchases — from loyalty benefits and customer care support to styling assistance, alterations, and fast, easy returns.
