'The Carry-On' is the name of a new pop-up series from high-end Canadian clothing retailer Kit and Ace that will be traveling through Los Angeles, Melbourne, London and other major cities around the globe. These temporary retail experiences will be stationed inside luxury hotels and pop-up shops.
True to its name, The Carry-On will feature collections of easy-to-pack essentials for trips. Throughout the seven-city tour, fans will be able to follow along on social media to get a sense of what each event holds. Viewers will also be able to pick up tips from incluencers on each region's best places to shop, eat and more.
While Kit and Ace is Vancouver-based, the success of The Carry-On shops will help to determine the best spots in the world for the store to establish permanent roots.
