Aerie Hidden Gems Marketplace

Aerie has searched high and low for the best treasures and is bringing its first-ever marketplace to NYC. The event will feature a curated selection of the city’s most joy-inducing treasures, alongside Aerie’s own Hidden Gems “It List” of cozy, comfy products for Fall 2023.  Guests will have the chance to donate their used bra styles before getting fitted in a new bra from Aerie’s Fall 2023 Collection by one of the brand’s specialists. All donations will go to Free the Girls – a non-profit that turns new and gently used bras into economic opportunity and a path to freedom for sex trafficking survivors. In addition, all guests will also have the chance to win special prizes through the prize wheel, pick up the brand’s custom newspaper and much more!
