The streets of Soho were buzzing this past Thursday evening, as Crosby Street Collective celebrated the launch of their Holiday Pop Up.
This iteration of their iconic Pop-Up featured a select group of innovative men’s apparel and accessory brands including Faculty, Ritter Apparel, North & Mark, Stuart & Lau and Stryx. All of these brands emphasize Crosby’ Street Collective’s manta of “design with a purpose”. The festive gathering provided attendees with the opportunity to interact with the founders of these cutting-edge men’s brands.
I had the chance to chat with Zach Jonas, founder of Ritter Apparel, regarding what led him to start a company focusing on sustainable menswear. “We started with the Ritter vest because we’re trying to solve the vest epidemic. We thought we could make it a little bit more polished by using sustainable fabrics such as alpaca and merino wool.”
Crosby’s Holiday Pop-Up currently offers a selection of items exclusive to their store. Crosby Street Collective is located a 119 Crosby St and is open 7 days a week from 12-7 PM.
