Know the Origin, a sustainability-focused department store, has recently opened its latest pop-up store at Angel Central in London. This new store is not only a retail space but also the company’s first zero-waste store. The store features a wide range of sustainable and transparent brands, including “next-generation ethical brands” like Girlfriend Collective, Thinking Mu, and Hara The Label.
The main concept behind Know the Origin’s pop-up stores and zero-waste store is to create a platform that showcases brands that adhere to sustainable and transparent practices. Customers are able to see every step of the production process, giving them confidence in the products they purchase. Previous pop-ups hosted by Know the Origin have also included events and workshops on sustainability and zero-waste living.
The founder of Know the Origin, Charlotte Instone, believes that Angel Central’s strategic location and high footfall make it the perfect space to continue their mission. Ciara Daffy, the Asset Manager at CBRE Global Investors, the landlord of the new store, agrees that Know the Origin’s educational and collaborative approach adds value to Angel Central.
This new zero-waste pop-up store at Angel Central reflects the growing trend of eco-conscious pop-ups in the retail industry.

By offering a platform that showcases these brands and educates consumers on sustainability, Know the Origin is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable retail.
The focus on zero-waste living in Know the Origin’s store is particularly relevant in today’s society, where reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact are becoming more important.
