This Weekend: Pop-Up Shop on Rittenhouse Square

I love post-holiday shopping. The discounts on Christmas candy, the deals on overstocked merchandise, I even like picking up cheap holiday decorations to use next year. However, I greatly dislike the epic lines in shopping malls and the shoving & pushing in department stores.
Luckily, this year, post-holiday shoppers (like myself) can swing by the “Shopt Out” Pop-Up Shop, a temporary store that’ll open at 1528 Walnut Street. Created by the folks behind Moko in Old City, the temporary store promises 40% to 80% off designer labels, accessorries, and other merchandise on Saturday, December 26th, through Tuesday, December 29th.
Some of the designer labels up for grabs include Opening Ceremony, Corey Lynn Calter, 3.1 Phillip Lim, bags by Christopher Kon, Vanessa Bruno, Paul & Joe Sister accessories and shoes by F Troupe and Sigerson Morrison. Boutiques like Reward, Philly 360 favorite Sevilla Smith and Petulia’s Folly will also be in the mix.
So swing by, shop, and don’t miss the opening night party on Saturday. From 5pm to 9pm, Triumph will dish out appetizers, Pinot Boutique will be pouring their specialty Pinot-Tini, and Tarte are supplying pastries. Mmm!
Update: According to the Philly Style Blog, the entrance to the shop isn’t at 1528 Walnut Street, and is around the corner on 16th St. below Walnut, between the Starbucks and the Kaplan test place. See their blog for pictures.

Dec 26th, Sat: 10am – 8pm
