Cou Cou, a London-based intimates brand, is opening a 1,600-square-foot summer pop-up on Mott Street in NoLIta. The store opens Friday and carries the core assortment, early access to upcoming summer product, and a New York-exclusive item. The space, designed by Kat Milne, also features original John Kacere lithographs. This is the brand’s second U.S. retail activation after a New York pop-up last summer that drew heavy traffic. The location functions as both retail and events space, offering book exchanges, embroidery monogramming, bra fitting sessions, refreshment hours, and a library curated by Rose Colcord. The layout is designed to feel like a hangout, with a dedicated area for the Rina viral hero style.
"The 1,600-square-foot shop, on Mott Street in NoLIta, opens Friday and will stock Cou Cou's core assortment alongside early access to upcoming summer product, plus a New York-exclusive item. The space was designed by Kat Milne and will also display original John Kacere lithographs."
"This latest location is positioned as both a retail point and an events space, with programming that includes book exchanges, embroidery monogramming, bra fitting sessions, refreshment hours and a library curated by founder and creative director Rose Colcord."
"Colcord framed the move as a way to deepen its relationship with existing customers rather than a sharp expansion play. "What people might call 'explosive growth' has actually felt very gradual and cumulative to me," she said, adding that it reflects "years of care, refinement, instinct and trusting our vision before the wider culture necessarily caught up to it.""
"The shop's layout is meant to feel more like a hangout than a standard retail install. Colcord said she wanted the space to feel "deeply intimate and welcoming amidst the pace of New York," adding that she imagined it as somewhere a customer could visit with "friends, your sister, your daughter, your mum.""
