The holiday pop-up shop located in downtown Dallas provides free retail space to a curated group of designers, artists, and entrepreneurs, with the lineup rotating during each of its three weeks. It has everything from jewelry, purses, and leather goods to clothing, artwork, and children's gifts.
Here's what you need to know to get your independent shop on:
