Sacai Releases a 12-Piece Nordstrom Capsule at Nordstrom NYC for the Retailer's 125th

Nordstrom is marking its 125th anniversary with a series of exclusive collaborations, and sacai is one of them. The Japanese label has produced a 12-piece women's capsule collection made only for Nordstrom. It is now on sale and on view at the retailer's New York store.

To celebrate, Nordstrom held an intimate dinner in New York on October 22. Chitose Abe, sacai's founder and creative director, flew in for the evening. She and Yumi Shin, Nordstrom's EVP of Global Brand Partnerships, toasted the capsule and the company's anniversary. In its Instagram post about the night, Nordstrom described it as a celebration of 125 years and of its partnership with sacai.

The menu came from ghettogastro, who cooked at their new studio in the WSA Building.

Nordstrom has not published a piece-by-piece breakdown of the capsule in its official posts. It has, however, shown sacai's tweed from the Women's Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection in a separate post titled as a study in texture, photographed by Ethan James Green and styled by Dara. That gives a sense of the fabric language the label is known for, though the post is about the main collection rather than the capsule itself.

The sacai capsule sits alongside other anniversary projects at the store. Stone Island made an N125 edition fishtail parka, limited to 18 pieces and dyed in a resin bath so that each one has a different textured finish. Barbour used a custom tartan, inspired by Nordstrom's Seattle roots, on select styles.

For readers in Japan, the notable point is that a Tokyo-founded label was chosen for a dedicated capsule at one of America's best-known department store chains, and that its founder came to New York in person for the launch. The capsule can be seen and bought at Nordstrom NYC.
