The pop up shop might be the greatest little phenomenon of this recession - we never know where our favorite designer’s going to appear and what exactly they’ll be selling

Today brings word of just a weekend-long Stella McCartney store in a former garage in East Hampton. From August 22nd to August 24th you can buy from both AW09 and her much lauded Resort collection and a bit of the profits will go toward Pollock-Krasner House & Study Center.

Even better is Gap’s 1969 London pop-up.

It opens on September 10th and lasts nine days, just enough time for us to head straight from Heathrow to Carnaby Street. The shop will carry exclusive denim, designer and artist collaborations from people like Pierre Hardy, Albertus Swanpoel and Pharell Williams as well as self-curated exhibition from Garance Doré.

No word on whether you can buy any of her illustrations, but they will be on t-shirts and you can never have too many of those.
