A pop-up shop hosted by Crabtree & Evelyn – a beauty brand established in 1972, which combines traditional natural remedies with modern scientific innovations – has arrived at the Manchester Arndale, one of 15 pop-up’s around the UK.

Jacqui Gale, from Crabtree & Evelyn’s head office, said “Manchester Arndale is the UK’s largest inner-city shopping centre so it is the perfect choice for Crabtree & Evelyn’s first pop-up shop. It is situated in the heart of Manchester and it opens just in time for Christmas so an ideal time for customers to discover our festive gift collection.”

Crabtree & Evelyn

The Secret Garden Christmas Gift collection includes festive home fragrances feature warming, evocative scents reminiscent of winter fruits and spices, accompanied by indulgent treats – from richly atmospheric candles to indulgent stocking-filling gifts for everyone – all decorated with beautiful rich, jewel-toned illustrations.

The pop-up will also showcase products and gift sets from Crabtree & Evelyn’s La Source, Gardeners, Rosewater and also Pomegranate, Argan & Grapeseed collections. They will offer a selection of seasonal food and their Nail Lacquer collection. For more about the origins of the brand see here.

I can’t wait to check out this brand (especially as I’ve been searching for something special to treat all my loved ones to this Xmas) and I’m looking forward to getting into the festive spirit a little earlier this year.

      They are on the top floor near Clas Olsen before you get to the escalators for the food market.

    There was a bit outlet of this in Vegas. It smelled so nice in there and all the bits you got look so lovely and colourful.

      Oh I didn’t know they are in the US as well. I’m going to get some samples sent to me to try out very soon, so I’ll keep you posted.

      I asked their PR guy that but he didn’t know. I’m going there today so I’ll ask the manager.

      I vaguely remember my Auntie getting me some as a prezzie but I think I was too young to properly appreciate a luxury beauty brand at the time.
