Perth designers hit hard by online purchasing are embracing the emerging phenomenon of 'pop up shops'.

The pop-up shop (also known as 'flash retailing') is a trend of opening short-term retail spaces that originated in Los Angeles. Recently, pop-up shops have been sprouting in the laneways of Perth's CBD like mushrooms after the rain, with locals loving the spontaneity of stumbling on a fleeting niche retailer.

In the lead-up to Christmas, five Perth-based designers are launching an event that marries the pop-up shop with a farmer's-market-style experience, supports local charity and does so in a unique, socially interactive setting complete with champagne and canapés.[ADVERT]

The inaugural Perth Designer Christmas Wrap Up will pop up for eight hours on Thursday, 29 November, at the Seasons of Perth hotel, with 10% of sales and raffle tickets supporting local charity, Teen Challenge WA.

Enjoy an evening meeting the designers, uncover their beautiful, one-of-a-kind gifts and have your Christmas shopping all wrapped up in an hour.

The products showcased will include men's underwear by Artillery 4 Men, handmade upcycled and sterling silver jewellery by Montsalvat, boutique skincare Pink Hibiscus (a favourite of Jackie O and Bessie Bardot), soy based candles by Wicked Wix and last, but not least, fashion designer Katie Perry will present her latest spring collection.

Katie Perry says, "The idea was born from the increasing pressure on emerging Perth-based designers to find new ways to engage and retain customers. At the Christmas Wrap, Perth people can connect with their local designers at a grass roots level. They can ask things such as 'How is this made?', 'How do I best wear or use it?' and 'Where did your idea for this come from?' It is a richer, more social designer shopping experience that creates a stylish way for customers to do all their shopping in one spot whilst enjoying a glass of champagne!"
