A pop-up shop will open later this week in Darlington through the collaboration of two independent brands in the town. 

The new store, which will open on Thursday (November 14), at 30 Blackwellgate, will combine the shopping experience of clothing and interior brand HYVE with the creative elements of artist COYL.

The shop will feature items from Hyve, who have a permanent shop a few shops down in the old Guru store, while also featuring clothing and creative items from artist Stephen Round, who goes by the acronym COYL (Control Of Your Life) and looks to inspire others to follow their dreams.

Posting on social media, COYL said: "Very excited to announce a pop-up collaboration in Darlington with @hyvestocks featuring a mixture of @hyve goods and @coylart favourites along with some one-offs and limited bits and pieces.

"Please join us on Thursday evening to get a preview of what’s on offer. Much more to see on the night."

Following the preview evening, the shop will then be open Wednesday to Saturday 10am until 6pm. 

It's expected that the pop-up shop, which will be there until New Year, will open more frequently in the build-up to Christmas but this will be advertised on the business.
