La Fem Pop-Up ReCap

January 31, 2017 Melanie Abrantes

In early December we proudly opened the much anticipated La Fem Pop-Up! This Holiday Pop-Up was a curated temporary Holiday store featuring local female designers and makers in South Berkeley in partnership with the store Social Studies. 

I had such an amazing experience curating and working on the La Fem Pop Up with Social Studies. I'm so grateful for all of the love from the community, people came far and wide to come visit the space. We worked together as a collective to put the store together, painting, merchandising and decorating. I wanted a minimal rock garden at the front of the space as well as a feminine touch of dusty pinks and neutrals. I couldn't have been more excited with how La Fem turned out! Check out the images below to see for yourself! 

Entrance to the shop. You can see the tables and shelves full of goodies.

We had a gorgeous bouquet made by the amazing floral duo Studio Mondine! Their pink blooms matched perfectly with the La Fem color scheme! The pink pillow is a custom piece from Mineral Workshop and the Rattan Chair is by WEND. 

We had my new pink marble cork on display on the table! You could also find jewelry by Christy Natsumi, Abacus Row and ceramics by Totem Co. 

I can't thank the AMAZING ladies that were a part of it enough, everyone worked together to run the shop and keep it looking beautiful. Thank you, thank you for all of your hard work :)
