The MinaLima Pop-Up Shop Opens in Nagoya, Japan!

by Lucy O'Shea · March 29, 2018

As we previously announced, the House of MinaLima has been spending some time in Japan this month! The design studio is currently hosting its first-ever Tokyo pop-up shop from March 15 to April 16 and has opened another in Japan this week.

From March 28 to April 1, MinaLima is setting up shop in Nagoya, in the Chubu region of Japan’s main island. The pop-up shop will be held on the tenth floor of the JR Nagoya Takashimaya department store as part of British Fair 2018. The fair explores elements of British culture, including food, art, and of course, tea!
