“We’re really looking forward to taking the essence of our 18,000 square-foot factory and bringing it to life in just 180 square-feet at The Current. It’s been a fun challenge to bring the soul of our big, bustling space into this cozy, inviting space. The holiday season is our favorite time of year, and this pop-up is the perfect way for us to share that holiday magic with you. We can’t wait for you to experience the warmth and creativity that we’ve packed into this tiny space!,” said Rachel Ajaj, Co-Founder of Air & Anchor.
“Bringing the Mrs Wordsmith store to Boston and the Seaport marks a pivotal moment for us. This store isn’t just a retail space—it’s a hub where literacy comes alive.
