Harrods
Harrods, a renowned department store in London, has opened a new pop-up shop in Knightsbridge to provide consumers with a rental, restoration, and tailoring services.
The pop-up, which is on the fifth floor, is part of Harrods’ sustainability project, which encourages clients to “rent, mend, and rethink their wardrobes.” The pop-up also wants to highlight luxury fashion and accessories’ circularity and lifespan.
Harrods’ restory service will assist consumers to extend the life of their accessories, while tailors will help customers envision apparel that needs alterations. A rental service for designer clothing will also be available at the pop-up.
