The Luxembourg City Mayor and Aldermen Council officially inaugurated six new pop-up stores in the capital’s Centre and Gare districts on Friday.
Here is all you need to know about these exciting new ventures!
‘The Vintage Store’, located at 38 Rue Philippe II, offers meticulously selected men’s and women’s clothing and accessories that are at least 20 years old. Every item has been chosen for its unique features, quality, and relevance to current fashion trends.
‘Maison Hadga’, located just two doors down at 40 Rue Philippe II, brings the warmth of authentic Moroccan design to private living spaces. All decor and household items are crafted in Marrakech, showcasing the exceptional skills of Moroccan artisans.
Over at 19-25 Rue des Capucins is ‘Bijan’s Shop’, dedicated to the world of BMX. Luxembourg’s BMX specialist Bijan Kesseler offers visitors an immersive experience into BMX culture. The store boasts a range of products including BeMiX Bikes, Kesseler’s own brand, inspired by the urban BMX design, alongside protective gear, clothing, and more.
‘Mellis,’ situated at 26 Rue des Capucins, is a haven for honey enthusiasts. Committed to promoting honey, supporting beekeepers, and raising awareness of the importance of bees, Mellis provides a mesmerising atmosphere where honey products are celebrated. Among their offerings are high-quality spirits branded under the Mellis name.
‘Sculpture Gallery 66' at 43 Grand Rue is a temporary art gallery showcasing works from Luxembourgish, Belgian, and German sculptors. Here, antiquary and art expert Armand A. Wagner offers exceptional pieces catering to various budgets.
Lastly, ‘Mademoiselle Jacky’, an online boutique now with a physical store at 3 Rue Jean Origer, offers a curated collection of women’s clothing and accessories known for their elegance and quality.
The ‘pop-up stores’ initiative launched by the municipality of Luxembourg City allows creators and start-ups to test their products, services, or concepts with a direct clientele by offering short-term retail spaces. This approach gives entrepreneurs a chance to gain first-hand experience in a physical store before fully venturing into the retail world. Moreover, these temporary shops diversify the city’s commercial offerings and draw a varied clientele downtown.
Property owners with temporarily vacant commercial spaces interested in joining the initiative can contact the Economic and Commercial Development Unit of Luxembourg City.
