Luxury is no stranger to the Miami Design District. So it is no surprise that when brands want to have a presence in Miami, even if just for a short while, they set their sites on the District. Just in time for Art Week, a new crop of pop-up shops are taking up residency in Miami’s most shoppable stretch of streets. From Gwyenth Paltrow’s goop GIFT to Pasticceria Marchesi, created by Lorenzo Bertelli, son of Prada designer Miuccia Prada, be sure to stop and shop these must-see boutiques before they are gone.
