Duncan Hodgson heads down to the Me&FYC Pop-Up Boutique launch and chats to Angie Hulme about this exciting new creative project.
Friday night saw the launch of a collaborative new pop-up boutique at FYCreatives open from now until the 1 September 2012. Organised by FYCreatives and independent fashion label, me&yu, over 20 local designers have produced a range of products including clothing, jewellery and artwork – plus more more!
FYCreatives was packed to bursting point, with over 150 people coming to browse the shop, buy some of the products and enjoy some live music from local singer-songwriter, Tali Feblend, plus complimentary drinks courtesy of Stolichnaya Vodka – which everyone enjoyed a lot! In the couple of hours which the shop was open on the launch night over ยฃ500 was taken demonstrating both the quality of the fantastic products on offer, and the demand for them.
We caught up with Angie Hulme from me&yu to find out how she thought the launch went and she told us…
I’m so happy with the response we got last night, everyone was really enthusiastic about the project and loved all the products which were available to buy. No-one realised quite how creative Blackpool locals are – and its great to give them an opportunity to sell their wares.
Check out the video below for a sneaky peek at what is on offer at this fantastic pop-up boutique!
