With temperatures rising and consumers heading off on summer getaways, brands are gearing up for the season, certainly boosted by CHANEL's impressive $186K media impact value from their Mykonos space last year.
This year, we're spotlighting 5 eclectic Euro Summer Pop-ups Destinations that captured our attention:
📕 Miu Miu brought its "Summer Reads" project to Paris, adding a literary twist to the city's iconic bookstands along the Seine. Visitors can pick up beautifully curated books like Alba de Céspedes' Forbidden Notebook, Sibilla Aleramo’s A Woman, and Jane Austen’s Persuasion. To make the experience even sweeter, Miu Miu's pop-up includes charming ice cream carts serving refreshing popsicles in mint, aniseed, and black cherry flavors.
🍦 The Ordinary has transformed an apartment-style space in the Marais, where visitors can explore their cult skincare products in a serene, all-white setting. Though no purchases are made on-site, guests leave with a complimentary product, ensuring a memorable visit.
As you step in, you're greeted with, “Welcome to The Ordinary apartment. Make yourself at home <3,” while the side of the building cheekily announces, “Lip balms get lost. Your next one is inside.”
🇺🇸 American Tourister, the luggage and bag company, is gearing up for summer with an exciting pop-up at Monoprix on the Champs Elysées. This year, they're bringing the beach vibes of Malibu to Paris with their Soundbox and Airconic collections.
