Overview
There's a brand new pop-up coming to Oxford Street this month and it's teeming with testosterone. Curated by Clara Ho (founder of Burton Metal Depository), presented by the Design Residency and supported by the City of Sydney's Creative Spaces initiative, The Man Cave is a brand new pop-up shop filled with Man Things — fashion, accessories, furniture, grooming tools and more — all created by emerging Australian talent with a penchant for dude-focused design.
Importantly, you don't need a penis to walk through the door of this pop-up shop. Everyone's welcome, chromosome combinations aside. With Father's Day coming up, it's pretty excellent one-stop-shop for something a little eclectic for your pappy. There'll be a leather monogramming service on-site, as well as bespoke suit fittings and custom jewellery consultations.
They're kicking things off on August 20 with a big ol' opening night with whiskey tasting from the crew at Balvenie Whiskey. The pop-up will also be open during Vogue's Fashion Night Out and City of Sydney's Fashion Saturday, with guest DJs, bespoke cocktails and grooming tips. Everyone loves a little beard-trimming advice with an Old Fashioned in hand, right?
The Man Cave is one part of a series of pop-ups presented by the Design Residency. The next residency will be Innovators from September 16, then Local Design from October 7.
The Man Cave opens on Thursday, August 20 at 72 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst. Opening night runs 6-9pm, where you can have tipple, meet the designers and nab the best things first.
