Locals Closet Announces Clothing Swap & Designer Capsule Pop-Up at The Huntress in Pound Ridge
A Holiday Event Blending Circular Fashion, Emerging Designers, and Mindful Gathering
December 14, 2025 | Pound Ridge, NY
Pound Ridge, NY — On Saturday, December 14, 2025, Locals Closet will host a Clothing Swap & Designer Capsule Pop-Up at The Huntress, bringing a new vision of sustainable, community-centered fashion to Westchester. The event merges circular fashion, emerging designer showcases, and mindful gathering — reimagining what a holiday pop-up can look and feel like.
The event will be held at:
The Huntress
109 Westchester Ave
Pound Ridge, NY 10576
Locals Closet, the sister brand of Locals World, is dedicated to connecting designers, locals, and travelers through community-driven pop-ups, curated city closets, and circular fashion experiences. This collaboration with The Huntress marks the brand’s first official retail partner event in New York.
A New Holiday Tradition: Conscious, Local, and Elevated
Guests will be invited to participate in a curated clothing swap, explore a designer capsule collection, enjoy a ceremonial cacao moment, and connect with women-led local brands and artisans featured in the event’s gift bags.
Emerging designers — beginning with COLDSNOW + DRAFT Studios — will showcase select pieces, with additional designers to be announced in the coming weeks. Items not purchased during the event will remain on a dedicated Locals Closet rack at The Huntress for two weeks following the pop-up, bringing continued foot traffic and visibility to both the boutique and featured designers.
A Collaboration Rooted in Community
“We’re creating an experience that blends the heart of community with the beauty of thoughtfully made clothing,” says Valerie Jana, Founder of Locals Closet & Locals World. “The Huntress is the perfect partner — a boutique that truly understands craftsmanship, elevated design, and the value of connecting women through meaningful experiences. This event is not just a pop-up; it’s the beginning of a new model for local fashion culture.”
“Partnering with the Huntress aligns perfectly with our mission to curate beautiful pieces with purpose. This event invites our community to engage with fashion in a more mindful, circular way while supporting emerging designers and local women-led brands.”
What Guests Can Expect
Curated Clothing Swap: Attendees bring gently worn clothing to exchange, encouraging conscious wardrobe refreshes.
