Garb(age), a Pop-Up Clothing Store on Sproul
In desperate need of some spice in your style and bread in your pocket? Ready to wave goodbye to the world of fast fashion and contribute to #SustainableStyle? Need an excuse to take a break from studying, hang with your friends, or practice self-love with retail therapy? Look no further, Bears, because Garb’s Pop-Up Clothing Store is comin’ to Sproul!
With the help from our friends at SilkRoll and inspired by today’s myriad of pop-up shops (like Glossier, Kylie Cosmetics, or museums like Museum of Ice Cream), Garb is pleased to present Garb(age), a Pop-Up Clothing Store on Sproul!
In less than two weeks, we will be haulin’ out hot swag to sell at our bazaar on Sproul. We have it all: tops, pants, skirts, shorts, dresses, purses - you name it! If you would describe your style as feminine, masculine, grunge, preppy, chic, business, simple, bold or anything else (really), we have gems in store for you. We have over 400 pieces of clothing for all genders, sizes, and shapes. And guess what? Although all of our clothing is secondhand, we will be selling unworn articles (new with tags!). A few of our specialty items will be $10+, while most shirts, pants, and purses will be $3-7 (it’s a steal, we know). Still not sold? Did we mention we are selling top brands like Burberry, Coach, Express, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Juicy Couture, H&M, Zara, Topshop and more? Better come to Sproul ASAP, so you don’t lose your chance to snag dope designer deals…All you need is your Venmo (or cash), and you’re good to go! Make sure to invite your friends to the event if you think they’d be interested as well.
