Brandless

Following its summer 2017 launch, online retailer Brandless has opened its first physical space in the Meatpacking District to showcase its ever-growing range of products – all of which cost $3.

The design of the space is based on the minimalist packaging, featuring a trademarked white box, and includes areas that allow customers to test different items like cosmetics, snacks and stationery.

Everlane
150 Wooster Street, until 6 November 2018

Fashion brand Everlane is celebrating the release of its ReNew collection – made almost entirely from recycled plastic bottles – with a pop-up that explains the issue of waste plastic and how it is turned into fibres, and displays the finished garments.

The initiative forms part of Everlane's commitment to removing virgin plastics entirely from its supply chain by 2021.

Floyd
496 Broadway, second floor, until 18 November 2018

Detroit-based online furniture brand Floyd has taken over a spacious SoHo apartment to present its range of flat-pack products, which so far includes tables, beds and a newly released sofa.

The minimally designed Housewarming space is laid out just like a home, so customers can envisage the items in their own living environments. There is also a room that provides an insight into the company's research and development process.

All of Floyd's products are available for purchase on-site, with the option for same-day delivery.

Wild One
242 Lafayette Street, until January 2019

The new Wild One accessories line "for pets and their parents" offers a tennis ball dispenser, tiered benches and mobile checkouts at its pop-up, where shoppers are encouraged to bring their canine companions.

Everything from collars and leashes to poop bags are showcased across the 1,400-square-foot NoLiTa space, and a portion of proceeds from every purchase go to sponsor a different rescue pet each week.
