Heritagewear Trend Alert! Smith + Butler Pop-Up Shop: March 27 - May 25, Brooklyn

Mark your calendars for the Smith + Butler at Moscot "Pop-Up" Shop which opens this Friday. This noteworthy event is one example of ever growing "Heritagewear trend." Consumers are becoming fed up with "low prices, fleeting trends, and poor quality of the fast fashion boom have left some consumers in search of the exact opposite. A renewed interest in quality, comfort, and dependability has led many to the 'functional' brands of the past" according to TrendCentral.com.

What could be more classic and cutting edge than a finely tuned assortment of fashion and lifestyle products curated by Smith + Butler. The temporary store will feature select items of the best traditional brands including Belstaff, Filson, Red Wing, Levis, Pendleton, Pointer, Brand, Jack Spade, Barbour and other vintage American brands. In addition, the store will feature MOSCOT’s most coveted vintage-inspired eyewear collection, The MOSCOT Originals including several new styles for spring '09. MOSCOT is a New York Lower East Side institution featuring more than 1,000 frames from well-known eyewear and sunglass designers, as well the company’s very own branded line of vintage-inspired glasses, sunglasses, and the coveted MOSCOT Originals collection.
