Luxury Shopping Experience Takes Center Stage in Greenville

Hey there, Greenville! If you’ve been dreaming of indulging in a bit of luxury shopping without the necessity of hopping on a plane to a big city, you’re in for a treat. This charming city, known for its warm Southern hospitality and vibrant arts scene, is now home to the Access Pop-up Tour – an exciting luxury retail experience that you absolutely don’t want to miss out on. The pop-up has been making a splash at Haywood Mall since August and will be here until October 17, so you’ve got plenty of time to check it out!

A Little Slice of Miami in the Heart of Greenville

What makes the Access Pop-up truly special? It’s a collaboration brought to you by the renowned Bal Harbour Shops in Miami. This isn’t just any shopping experience; it’s a world of high-end fashion and upscale dining transported into our very own quaint community. Picture this: a stunning 17,000 square foot mobile pop-up created from 30 shipping containers, complete with covered walkways, cozy fans, and a retractable canopy. It’s as chic as it sounds, and it seamlessly blends the allure of urban luxury with the charm of Greenville’s small-town feel.

So, What’s Inside?

When you step into this pop-up paradise, you’re greeted with the lush decor reminiscent of the famous Bal Harbour Shops. Prime luxury brands like Tiffany & Co., Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, and Chanel are just a taste of what awaits. You can indulge yourself in upscale fashion while sipping a seasonal cocktail at The Whitman, a fine dining restaurant that seats 150 and offers a full bar and lounge to relax in after your shopping spree!
