What exactly is a Pop Up Boutique you may ask? Well Pop-UP boutique is the unique opportunity to give local designers visibility. Unfortunately, it is a grueling process to get into stores, if that opportunity ever comes… With mark-ups, the designers items ends up too expensive for consumers which impact sales negatively. With a Pop Up Boutique, you have “your own store” within a store for a period of time, where you make all the decision with regards to price and look. For shoppers, pop-up shops give a chance to find one of a kind items from top emerging designers at great prices.

Pop Up Shops are so convenient for local designers and their followers…from a designer stand point, you have real time client reactions about your product and price point,  interaction with customers. and most of all SALES!!!!!!

Please visit www.bebenoir.com/blog and under Pop Up Boutique, you will find pictures of several designers featured this year.

Please continue to support our local designers!!!

What’s Up With the Fish?

We wish to capitalize on this season’s trend of animal inspired costume jewelry; all while remaining true to our commitment to empowering women to wear clothes and accessories that represent not only how they look, but what they stand for. Our animal of choice became the fish, because in almost every culture they are a feminine symbol of transformation and creativity. We believe that every woman has the power to reinvent herself and her community for the better. That’s why we offer a variety of beautiful, avant-garde accessories that help women use their style as a means to benefit communities and causes they care about. From this collection, 10% of all profits are donated to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund.
