A 21-year-old entrepreneur is inviting independent businesses in Crouch End to rent a space in their pop-up shop in the lead-up to Christmas.
Pili Wilson began selling masks online during the first Covid-19 lockdown in March, as a small project to support Kenyan workers who had lost their usual income.
The Kenyan-born creative postponed her university plans to launch PoPuP in Topsfield Parade in August, bringing in local makers to share the space.

Pili told the Ham&High: “Rent prices are so high, it’s not sustainable for one maker, and it gives the opportunity for lots of independents to keep a physical outlet going.
