MAKING AN IMPACT
Pop-up shops have unquestionably triumphed throughout the summer months, drawing both enthusiastic shoppers and curious passersby. Offering a dynamic fusion of unique products, engaging experiences and a dash of urgency, pop-ups have not only captured consumer attention but have also provided brands with a platform to experiment, create buzz and foster a sense of exclusivity.
As a temporary retail furniture supplier, we’ve found ourselves particularly busy over the last month with lots of exciting store activations. Inside the latest edition of POP-ID, explore the endeavours of companies that are championing sustainability, endorsing black-owned businesses and aiding the reintegration of women into the workplace – all through the power of pop-up shops.
PANGAIA ENHANCE BICESTER VILLAGE STORE
Pangaia stands out as a commendable brand due to its strong commitment to sustainability and innovation within the fashion industry. With a fusion of science, technology, and creativity, Pangaia emphasises the use of eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton and recycled fibres, minimising their ecological footprint. We love collaborating with brands who champion sustainability and were thrilled when Pangaia contacted us to rent furniture to enhance their store at Bicester Village. Our shared values on sustainability make this partnership a perfect match.
At FoundPop we offer a sustainable solution that aligns seamlessly with the needs of the fashion industry. Our commitment to durability ensures that furniture is designed to withstand the rigours of the retail environment, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for frequent replacements. With a circular approach that prioritises reusability and adaptability, we embrace eco-conscious practices without compromising on style or functionality.

SMART WORKS CHARITY GO FURTHER TO SUPPORT WOMEN
FoundPop has been supporting Smart Works since our partnership was announced on International Women’s Day earlier this year. Recently, we provided our services for the ME+EM sample sale at the Fashion Club event hosted by The Bank of America and we are delighted to be teaming up with them again for their pop-up shop in Covent Garden.
The Smart Works Summer Shop will be open for a duration of 6 weeks and feature numerous incredible brands such as Rixo, Elemis, Aligne, and Olivia Burton (to name a few). The discounted items are up to 70% off, and all proceeds go to support the Smart Works charity.
Smart Works’ mission is to provide unemployed women with the confidence they need to achieve their full potential and transform their lives, and we are proud to be contributing to their cause by providing our sustainable rental furniture set-up.
