Follain x Fivestory Pop-Up
Boston-based clean-beauty boutique Follain and luxury retailer Fivestory have teamed up to open the “Clean Beauty Clubhouse,” a highly curated selection of nontoxic products—skincare, makeup, deodorant, shampoo—located on the third floor of the clothing store’s Upper East Side townhouse. With offerings from the likes of May Lindstrom, Tata Harper, and Vintner’s Daughter, the pop-up is not only a place to discover the perfect gift (or a treat for yourself) but also a calming reprieve from the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping. Open now, the shop runs through January 15. –Erin Lengas
