SoGifted features products from women-founded small businesses in the SoGal community.
The brands include Lovevery, Neely & Chloe and HidrateSpark 3.
The initiative follows after Macy’s reached a strategic partnership with SoGal Ventures by acquiring a minority stake in the fund.
The move is also part of the retail chain’s partnership with retail-as-a-service start-up b8ta. Last year, Macy’s bought a minority stake in the tech retailer.
