EXCITING SUMMER POP UP: BANANA REPUBLIC x THE SOCIETY ARCHIVE
Another exciting collaboration is bringing a new pop-up to the Hamptons this summer. Banana Republic and The Society Archive have announced their ongoing partnership beginning with a week-long pop-up at The Crow’s Nest in Montauk, New York from August 2nd through August 9th, 2024.
The Society Archive, a highly-curated vintage archive founded by Marcus Allen and Banana Republic invite guests to explore the vintage collection that merges the brand’s heritage with contemporary style. The pop-up will offer pieces from the Banana Republic archives showcased alongside the brand’s current product assortment, creating a unique moment of discovery and self-expression.
“I’m excited to bring a specially curated perspective to Montauk this summer with hand-selected vintage pieces in partnership with Banana Republic”, said Marcus Allen, stylist and founder of The Society Archive. “Each garment is hand-selected made to feel familiar and unique, reflecting the brand’s American heritage and its modern designs. The Crow’s Nest is the perfect venue for the Banana Republic x The Society Archive collaboration and pop-up: it’s casual, refined, and effortlessly cool—an ‘if you know, you know’ kind of place that’s meant to be shopped and explored.”
A limited run of 100 Banana Republic vintage items, sourced by The Society Archive, are merchandised alongside pieces from Banana Republic’s current August collection, highlighting the brand’s long-standing affinity for producing high-quality and exceptionally made clothing. Included within the shop is a range of men’s and women’s outerwear, woven and work shirts, graphic T-shirts, knits, denim jackets, fishing vests, trousers, shorts, sweaters and skirts with prices ranging from $64 for accessories up to $324 for Leather items.
