"I've been doing pop-ups with LDC for a…"

I've been doing pop-ups with LDC for a while now, it's a really great community. They make doing pop-ups an easy experience, it's a fantastic opportunity to meet other brands, and everyone is very supportive and helpful. I'm really happy I found LDC and will definitely continue to have pop ups with them

"An exciting opportunity in London w/ LDC"

We had the chance to collaborate with LDC team for 2 different Temporary Store.
It has been a nice experience, the team is really amazing, reliable and helpful!
I recommend it :)

"Great being a part of LDC"

We have done a few pop ups with LDC the most recent being at Chelsea and they were wonderful. Extremely helpful ground staff. The locations of their pop ups are great. It is a great way to get our products reach a much wider audience

"Have worked with LDC at a few pop ups…"

Have worked with LDC at a few pop ups now and love their locations, brands and team! Very up to date with the retail market and will place your business in the best way! Thank you excited for future pop ups ✨✨✨

"Love the concept of LDC"

Love the concept of LDC - Bought myself a gorgeous ring that I am so happy with - the lady who worked the shop was utterly divine and helped me find a ring to fit my finger - super knowledgeable and I love supporting small businesses!

"Very Good Pop-Up Experiences."

I have worked with LDC since 2023 and love having my brand at their stores. It continuously improves the pop-up experience for small businesses and allows us to be in excellent locations around London. I admire the company's concept and believe in its efforts to deliver successful pop-ups.

"I've had a fantastic experience…"

I've had a fantastic experience collaborating with LDC company on a couple of pop-up events. Their team is incredibly supportive, and I'm impressed by the high sales traffic and constant buzz of activity in the stores. Their strategic approach to changing locations keeps things fresh and attracts potential clients, which is excellent for brand marketing. I'm genuinely grateful for their efforts. Thank you, team!

"Going again "

We did St John's Wood in Easter for one week, although the traffic was not alot because of the hoilday break but there was sales and we decided to do two in Kings Road.

I have visited the store alot and stayed for hours. I like the staff very much, they are friendly and professional and they do there best to make sales to all the brands there.

I have did pop-up in different locations and I think that the set up is amazing and everyone is working hard to make it as successful to all brands.

My experience is very positive and I would higly recommend them.

"I’m very grateful to the Lone Design…"

I’m very grateful to the Lone Design Club, for looking after small brands like my own. I’ve found them to be incredibly hard working, and trying to provide the best conditions possible to showcase my brand. In my opinion, retail and business involve a degree of risk-taking, and finding the perfect location and target audience is an ongoing process, which is what LDC is amazing for, in my opinion.

"!Brands Beware!"

!Brands Beware!

Our brand’s decision to partner with Lone Design Club (LDC) was made based on the information we were provided, in writing and conversation. However, apart from having my products displayed in a space, none of the obligations, promises and responsibilities set forth by and on the part of LDC were fulfilled. It is also important to note that in addition to the cost of this partnership, a significant amount of time and energy was spent on our part. Unfortunately, this partnership was missold and our brand would have never signed up knowing that the information provided by LDC would be not be fulfilled. The pop-up was poorly researched, planned, mismanaged and disorganised. We have had meeting with LDC regarding these issues and they were validated and accepted. LDC promised to rectify the situation, however, it has now been a month and we have not heard from them despite our follow-up emails. This leaves us with a sense that LDC works for LDC and not the brands the claim to support. We wish we could say that our experience was unique, but unfortunately other brands that we have spoken with had similar experiences.

During our initial consultation, we were promised a certain market which aligned with our products. However, upon attending the launch and subsequent visits to the shop and other shops, it became immediately apparent that this area did not have the market as LDC claimed. LDC failed to exercise due diligence when selecting brands to participate in this pop-up - this location should have been visited and vetted before selecting brands to partner with.
 
Launch Party:
Wasn’t advertised.
No one attended.
No photography or media coverage as outlined in the information pack.
Visual merchandising was inadequate and poorly planned. The space they promised was a third smaller than the space given.

VIP Shopping: No one attended any of the two VIP shopping nights.
 
The LDC information pack also claims to, ‘Attract and engage top tier journalists and industry professionals’. There was no media coverage on the event at all, except for LDC social media.
 
Social Media:
Only one brand social media post (second image of a carousel grid post).

 
Meet the Maker Event:  
Our brand provided all the information necessary to facilitate the promotion of the event nearly a month before the event was scheduled. The event was listed on Eventbrite only a week before and advertised on their social media account 3 days before.
 
The packaging material and box that our products were delivered in was lost and three of our items had security tags left on.

This was our first experience with LDC and we will not be partnering with them again. They claim that this is not their usual practice and have had the opportunity to make things right but haven’t.
