ABOUT US
Welcome to My Pop Up Store!
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful concept that has grown and evolved over the past decade. Initially conceived as an ephemeral project, today we stand stronger than ever before.
In 2012, Elizabeth, the visionary founder of My Pop-Up Store, returned to Mauritius after completing her master's degree at the School of Fine Arts. As a handbag designer under the brand Bab and the Queen, she encountered the common challenges faced by young entrepreneurs in breaking into the industry and establishing their names. Determined to find a solution that bridged the gap between traditional markets and permanent boutiques, she was inspired by the thriving concept of ephemeral boutiques in cities like Paris, London, and New York.

Driven by her passion, Elizabeth successfully brought together a group of like-minded designers who, like her, aspired to make their mark in the market. In September 2012, she launched My Pop-Up Store, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey. Since then, our community has continued to grow, fostering a dynamic ecosystem of artists, designers, and craftsmen who proudly promote the rich Mauritian know-how.
Today, My Pop-Up Store is home to more than 90 distinctive brands and employs a dedicated team of 10 individuals. The objective is to offer a shopping experience more than just a place to buy.
