CURATED 2.0 hosted by Bouguessa, is re-inventing the pop-up experience by building real interaction with brands through creativity and a strong sense of community.
CURATED focuses on empowering brands to tell their stories in a new, personal and impactful way.
This February 17th to 20th, Bouguessa will host the second edition of CURATED popup at their showroom in D3, with exciting fashion brands like Monica Sordo jewelry, ATP Atelier shoes, Didon fine jewelry, Odeem bags and Bouguessa.
Beyond the unique retail experience, CURATED 2.0 will be all about gathering the Bouguessa community for discovery and connection via workshops including a Pottery workshop with OKA Ceramics studio amongst others. OKA Ceramics will also be part of the popup brand mix through their beautiful fineceramics’ homeware and décor pieces.
During CURATED 2.0, Bouguessa will also host the first “Female Founders After work”, a series of networking events aiming at creating meaningful connections amongst female entrepreneurs and other incredible women in business. Starting or working on your own business can be a really lonely journey and other female business owners can be the best source of support and guidance when we need it, and celebrate our successes too.
Aside from welcoming visitors at the Bouguessa showroom during the popup, CURATED 2.0 will befeatured virtually on Bouguessa’s Instagram via Lives and stories.
We look forward to welcoming you to CURATED 2.0 from February 17th to February 20th from 10am to7pm at Dubai Design District, building 7, 207B. Join us on @Bouguessa ’s Instagram for more insights, styleguides and an overview of CURATED 2.0.
