MNfashion holiday is a pop-up holiday boutique featuring locally-made goods by local designers. The boutique was made possible by a grant from the Pohlad Family Foundation. The grant is not only important for the growth of MNfashion but it also helps to fulfill its goals for development of its strategic plan, its current programs and the future sewing co-op.
