Luxury pop-up mall in Sarasota adds two more glitzy, global fashion brands

A luxury pop-up mall opening this week in north Sarasota, with a Tiffany & Co. and Balmain store already part of the mix, is adding another ultra high-end brand: Dolce & Gabbana. 

The company behind the pop up, Whitman Family Development, announced the addition of the famed Italian fashion brand in a Monday news release. Whitman previously announced it will open the mini-mall, made from shipping containers and dubbed the Access Pop-up Tour, outside The Mall at University Town Center this month. Whitman owns and operates Bal Harbour Shops, the No. 1 mall in the world in sales per square foot, with $2,555.

In addition to Dolce & Gabbana, Whitman Family Development also announced that Golden Goose, a luxury sneaker brand, will join the roster of stores at the UTC Access Pop-up Tour. Other previously announced brands include Etro, Gianvito Rossi, Addict, Santa Maria Novella, Assouline, Orlebar Brown and Christofle. The nearest Dolce & Gabbana store to Sarasota is in Orlando, while there’s a Golden Goose at International Plaza in Tampa.
