Do you guys know that here in San Antonio we have a program called OPEN San Antonio which activates vacant storefronts in downtown with temporary pop-up shops? through this project I’ve been able to meet different boss girls who either are starting their businesses or are taking it from an online platform to a temporary physical address allowing them to adventure into the retail face to face experience without spending thousands of dollars in a lease contract.
Pink Silver Fashion, Socorro Society and Jane of all are three brands that got together to OPEN their first pop-up store that offers handmade accessories and authentic clothing designs complemented with boutique styles and other products such bath bombs and body lotions that are made with natural ingredients.
The decoration of the space is eclectic, you can see their personal touch in each corner like on the floating flower wall which is perfect for pictures, others accents include a vintage bike and a shabby french cottage style mirror, all arranged in very creative way.
The pop-up store is having their formal inauguration this Friday 13th, it’s an all day event from 11am -7pm (I heard that Rosella Coffee is hosting the first part of the day) and by the afternoon we’ll be enjoying some refreshments and the opportunity to have our own jean item embroidered right on the spot, you can bring an original design or choose one of their own.
I leave you to these pics that we spontaneously took yesterday, I couldn’t stop myself from trying on this fun Summer linen dress which has all the necessary trends, stripes and the off shoulder neckline, it buttons up on the front and has side pockets, I paired it with this vintage natural fiber bag for a pop of color, the shoes where not the best option but I wasn’t prepared for this, nude wedges are a better choice. See the visual details below .
I’ll update this blog after Friday with more images and a video recap of the grand OPENing, and I hope to see you guys here and supporting other local shops and entrepreneurs that make our Beautiful San Antonio a gem worth to visit.
