To continue the success of The Poundshop pop-up that launched in the ICA Theatre in 2014, an all-new temporary shop is being opened for the holiday season called 'The Garage Sale.'
The Garage Sale will be open for a few days during the beginning of December, featuring a collection of curated goods created by over 60 artists and designers from all across the UK. Items will include mugs, hangers, stationary and necklaces, among a variety of other items, all of which will be available for purchase from between £1 and £100.
By carrying a collection of artisan designs, The Garage Sale encourages consumers to think about supporting local talent with an alternative way to purchase gifts for the Christmas season.
