Designers applied via the brand’s Instagram profile to showcase their products at the store. Products on offer at the Covent Garden pop-up included art, interiors, fashion, body and bath products, while a selected number of suppliers created personalised items in-store.

Guests could also take part in snood-making workshops held by Wool & The Gang on Saturday and Sunday. The brand hired technology company Vend to bring its online offering offline, with all in-store sales software run on iPads.

The activation was inspired by Etsy’s 2013 Holiday Shop in New York, which saw more than 20,000 visitors attend.
