Following a successful activation in Los Angeles, the affordable eCommerce company, Brandless will be launching an interactive experience dubbed 'Pop-Up With a Purpose.'

Guests of the immersive space can expect a wide variety of sights and activities, most of which tell an important story about the necessity of sustainability and conscious consumerism. This includes a bamboo forest which highlights the tree-free paper goods produced by the brand, and a fair trade coffee bar to enforce the importance of fair wages and safe working conditions. Additionally, visitors will be able to browse through a carefully curated selection of Brandless' product offerings, most of which retail for $3 or less.

According to the co-founder and CEO of Brandless Tina Sharkey, “The NYC pop-up will not only embody the Brandless ethos, but will also bring our delicious goods and awesome products to life."
