Chameleon Pop-Up Shop

Designer-Goods Resale Pop-Up Shop Opening September 15, 2017 in Downtown Allentown

City Center Investment Corp., the real estate development company revitalizing downtown Allentown, Pennsylvania, announced today the first tenant of its new pop-up shop in Three City Center will be a designer-goods resale boutique run by and benefitting the YWCA Allentown


The YWCA’s “Perfect Fit Pop-Up Boutique” will be open from Sept. 15 to Oct. 12, 2017, selling gently used clothes, purses, shoes, jewelry and accessories by such upscale brands as J. Crew, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Eileen Fisher, St. John, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Michael Kors and Coach. Items will range in price from $5 to $150, and sales will benefit the YWCA Allentown’s programs, including the Perfect Fit for Working Women, which empowers women of limited means entering the workforce by providing career clothing and job-readiness-skills training. 

 
During each of the shop’s four weeks in business, a local YWCA supporter will handpick items to showcase in a special section of the store. The boutique’s first guest curators will be the team from Lehigh Valley Style magazine.

 
“Building on what the Perfect Fit program does best, we’re bringing affordable clothing, along with unique pieces and fun vintage finds, to downtown Allentown,” says Sarah Barrett, executive director of the YWCA Allentown. “It’s a natural extension of our mission, and a good reason to shop for a great cause.”

 
The Perfect Fit Pop-up Boutique will be open Mondays through Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The shop will be closed on Sundays.

 
City Center’s “Chameleon Pop-Up Shop” occupies 1,931 square feet on the first floor of Three City Center, a Class A office and retail building at 515 Hamilton Street. Vendors can rent the entire store or space within it for between one day and several weeks, meaning multiple vendors may operate in the space simultaneously. For interested vendors with little to no experience with pop-up retail, City Center has created a guide to help ensure their success.
