Lapa Pop-up Shop

This pop-up shop was named after the Liberian term, “lapa,” which is a large piece of African fabric that women repurpose as a wrap or skirt. The Liberian sisters were inspired by this concept and their culture and created this pre-loved pop-up shop to showcase designer clothing and accessories from their closets to inspire others to “take what you have and reimagine it.”

The DeShield sisters will feature gently used and brand-new clothing as well as accessories from local fashion trendsetters of diverse sizes and styles, creating a size-inclusive experience for shoppers.

Tables and clothing racks will be sorted by each re-seller and labeled by type of clothing and size and labeled from small and petite to plus size. Not only will shoppers leave with new wardrobe pieces, but they will feel great knowing that they have reduced their carbon footprint with pre-loved items.
