The FLANNELS The House of Summer pop-up shop is an immersive, multi-sensory experience being run by the brand to offer shoppers a resort-like environment to explore this spring.
The pop-up is at the brand's flagship location on Oxford Street in London and is inspired by Tulum, Mexico to evoke the mood of heading out on a summer vacation. The immersive setting will offer access to a curated edit of womenswear styles and accessories, perfect for wear during the summer months. The pop-up is being displayed from May 1 through 23, 2026.
Head of Women's Luxury Brand Partnerships at Frasers Group Natalie Dickson spoke on the FLANNELS The House of Summer pop-up shop saying, "This pop up is about creating a moment of discovery for our womenswear customers – bringing together a global mix of designers to offer a fresh perspective on femininity and escapism. Inspired by the craftsmanship behind exclusive brands like Desierto to established names within our edit, we really want the customer to experience this through our lens — bringing a sense of Tulum beach to Oxford Street, and dressing them for all summer occasions, from yacht parties to poolside drinks and weddings.”
