FLO + THEO Pop Up

Last September, I met Ebony Ajiboye at an American Express Ladies Biz Bootcamp. She told me she was starting a vegan skincare line, with her sister, and I told her about our gallery concept and the rest you could say is history:). We've been featured on Daily Candy, in the same week, and on Saturday 2/1 we're having a pop up shop! The afternoon will feature complementary hand treatments, giveaways, and tasting of delicious treats, courtesy of Sugarfly Alley artisan candy!! You can also view Bed Stuy Story, Warehouse Gallery’s current exhibition + archive, featuring the works of four contemporary photographers – BOA, Russell Frederick, Lisa Lewis, Brock Mills + kamau ware.  

I hope to see you there! Details below + RSVP.
