Kit and Ace is a clothing brand born out of a desire to create luxury apparel that offered the same functionality as performance wear. Launched by JJ Wilson—the son of Lululemon founder Chip Wilson—and his wife Shannon, the Vancouver-based line is best known for its game-changing fabrics, like machine-washable cashmere.

Now that the line has made quite a name for itself with stores across the globe, Kit and Ace is finally ready to make its mark in LA by opening permanent locations in Pasadena and Venice later this year. But first, Wilson will tease Angelenos with a pop-up in DTLA' Arts District next month.

Set to open on Thursday, July 23rd, the Kit and Ace DTLA pop-up shop will feature all of the brand's core styles (including weather-appropriate tanks and tees) with prices ranging from $68 to $138. The shop will be open Friday through Sunday from 11am to 5pm, and we hear that they'll be sticking around DTLA until early 2016!
