This bodega-style pop-up comes just in time for the holidays. Located in Miami's Design District, it is titled 'The Unofficial Basel Gift Shop.' It will have its doors open for style-minded consumers during the month of December. The bodega-style pop-up is launched in collaboration between legendary denim brand DIESEL and experience-focused Boston/LA-based boutique Bodega.
The temporary retail activation has a welcoming vibe, with appropriate aesthetics. It features items that are "very high quality and limited" -- from clothes and toys to books and smoking paraphernalia. In addition, the bodega-style pop-up also boasts two DIESEL collaborations -- one with A-COLD-WALL* and one with designer Eric Emanuel. The Unofficial Basel Gift Shop will also carry some exclusive pieces from power-house brands like Krink, Miracle Seltzer, LQQK, Mr. Green, and more.
