Our First Pop-Up Shop!
This past February we had our first pop-up shop in Paris! We had an amazing space on rue du Cherche-Midi in the 6th arrondissement. It used to be an old bookshop that still has the original interior with wood shelving and old-style window cabinets. The space was perfect for displaying our handmade glass.
Our first day open was a sunny & warm spring-like day (in the middle of winter!) and we had lots of curious folks come in, talk with us, and welcome us to the neighborhood.
Throughout the week we held a few special events…
We had a Launch Party in which Carolina Spielmann, illustrator Parisienne, drew on our windows and customized a few vases for some lucky customers!
We had a Plaster Workshop with Sebastien Nobile of Moulage et Patine where you could make your own masterpiece to take home with you!
Valentina (one of our founders) conducted a Candle Pouring Workshop to show the techniques of how we pour our all-natural candles. Each person was able to choose a piece of La Soufflerie glass and make a candle out of it.
Kali, the founder of Grow Little, conducted a Terrarium Making Workshop. Each person was able to make & take home their own terrarium from a La Soufflerie container with Kali’s curated plants for easy care!
We also teamed up with our client L’Arbre Paris (who is located on the same street!) for a Valentine’s special in which they flowered & planted select vases & containers as gifts for loved ones on the day to celebrate love!
It was a great experience and such a successful event that we already have another Pop Up Shop planned so stay tuned for the dates!
