It’s never a bad time to do something good, so why not do it whilst you’re out picking out your Christmas gifts? We have put together a list of five cool pop-up shops that benefit charities. From feminist tees to celebrity designed reusable coffee cups, you’ll want to catch them before they’re gone!
- Tits London
Not only is this store celebrating the work of female artists, but it’s raising money for breast cancer awareness by donating 10% of all proceeds to Coppafeel. With cute graphic tees, fun jewellery, quirky tote bags and more, it’s the perfect place to get those secret Santa gifts.
