Your city has taste. So does theirs.
Our first planned swap connects two cities with unmistakable personalities—and gives their independent makers a new audience.
Make the unboxing your own.
Every crate includes an ‘open it on camera’ card. Film your first impressions, share your favorite find, or keep the discovery all to yourself.
Give the other city its flowers.
Rate the other city’s picks on the city-vs-city leaderboard. A little hometown pride, a little friendly competition, a lot of new favorites.
One subscription. Fresh discoveries.
The monthly CityCrate
5–6 local finds, a city soundtrack, and an invitation to the rivalry. Pilot availability and shipping details will be listed with the box.
