Why is it sold off the platform?

Our marketplace is new!
As we continue developing our full marketplace experience, we’re currently featuring a thoughtfully curated selection of products we believe in to support your shopping experience in the meantime. Vendors are already joining the platform, so as our vendor community expands, the marketplace will gradually replace the need for off-platform shopping, and you will be able to shop directly on our platform.
 
To help accelerate this transition, when you shop a product labeled “off-platform shopping,” we kindly ask that you leave a short note tp the brand  letting them know you discovered their products through The Nile — your support helps us grow this marketplace and bring more black-owned businesses on board.
