We love pop up shops! So when we heard the news that WS Development was launching The Current: a pop-up village right in the heart of the Seaport District, we were excited to say the least. This cluster of of modular, visually-compelling structures features a collection of retailers on a rotating basis, ranging from beloved local startups to first-to-Boston national brands – each connected by a common thread and theme that changes periodically.

Nine new businesses launched this past Sunday with a “She-Village” theme at The Current shining a light on female-founded and fashion-forward brands. An opening celebration is planned for Thursday, August 2 beginning at 6pm in Seaport Common.  She-Village at The Current is open seven days a week, July 22, 2018 through January 4, 2019, and will host the nine brands detailed below.
