Tory Burch is launching a pop-up shop aimed at supporting female entrepreneurs. The special, limited run store has been launched as part of the Tory Burch Foundation.

The organization, which works to aid women in business, is presenting the theme embracing ambition. The unveiling comes following the brand’s summit this year celebrating prominent women across various industries such as Margaret Atwood and Yara Shahidi.

“When I started the company, my dream was to start a foundation,” Burch said in a statement. “Social responsibility was in our business plan from the very beginning.” Since launching in 2009, the foundation has provided programs and funding for women entrepreneurs in the U.S. by providing access to capital, education and digital resources.

Open until November 27, the shop is decorated with quotes pertaining to ambition and celebrates 100 Years of Women’s Rights in the U.S. Located in New York’s fashion-focused Meatpacking district, the shop is located at the label’s boutique.

The location will host events each Tuesday until the run concludes and offers treats and beverages made by women business owners including Kate McAleer from Bixby & Co, Erin Uehara of Choco le ‘a, Jordan Salcito of Ramona, Penny Stankiewicz of Sugar Couture and Sashee Chandran of Tea Drops.

Among the items sold are the Embrace Ambition T-shirt and bracelet. Twenty percent of proceeds will be directed towards the foundation.
