Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-up is now open in Asheville, North Carolina through August 10th.
While Asheville might be 800 miles north of Bal Harbour, the charming North Carolina hub couldn’t be closer to our hearts. Not only has Bal Harbour Shops’ President and CEO Matthew Whitman Lazenby made it his adopted home, but from June 13 through August 10, it’s also hosting the latest edition of the Bal Harbour Shops’ Access Pop-up.
Golden Goose will offer a variety of collection pieces.
“I am personally thrilled to bring the unique, immersive retail and dining experience of Bal Harbour Shops to Asheville, my adopted city, at a time when it is already making a storied comeback,” said Matthew Whitman Lazenby, President and Chief Executive Officer of Whitman Family Development. “With this roving Bal Harbour Shops Access pop-up, we introduce a new and innovative experience with high-touch personal service and high-tech imaginative engineering to deliver memorable moments to our guests, while celebrating and supporting the local community in what is sure to be its complete recovery.”
The Tiffany & Co. boutique at Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-up.
As Western North Carolina continues its recovery from Hurricane Helene, which struck the southeast last September, this very special Pop-up is dedicated to helping boost the region’s economy and supporting area recovery efforts by attracting visitors with its unique ambiance and offerings, increasing area sales tax revenues, and aligning with local charities for mission-driven activations.

Giving back to the community will be even more enjoyable, thanks to the curated collection of coveted fashion and lifestyle brands—including Tiffany & Co., Valentino, Balmain, Assouline, Etro, Golden Goose, Eleventy, Johanna Ortiz, and the signature restaurant concept, The Whitman. A portion of sales will be donated to Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, including the Always Asheville Fund and Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity. Additionally, the Pop-up will offer Asheville a range of local employment opportunities, while partnering with local event planners, performers, florists, musicians, photographers, videographers, and other area businesses.
Balmain is among the 11 luxury brands taking residency at the Access Pop-up.
As with the other iterations of the Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-up, 30 custom-built modular shipping containers have been constructed to recreate a lush, tropical oasis reminiscent of the South Florida mecca. The al fresco luxury retail environment is an experience unlike any other and awaits your arrival now through August 10.
