Magical Photo Tour of Mickey Maker Shop in NYC!
On its opening day, I dug out my favorite pair of mouse ears and headed downtown to Chelsea. Along the Hudson River and just a block from the famous Chelsea Market and High Line, The Mickey Mouse True Original Exhibition opened its doors to the public! In honor of Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday, the exhibition combines pop art with throwback pieces that makes for a unique art exhibit that doubles as a major celebration including the Mickey Maker Shop!
If you only have a little time in the Big Apple, anyone is welcome inside the Mickey Maker Shop! Like I said, I was one of the lucky few who got to attend on the opening day, and managed to calm my overly-excited hands enough to snap photos of the entire shop. Let’s take a look inside!
The True Original
All of the merchandise inside the shop pays homage to Mickey, and the first table displays ear hats, figures, and patch kits that will turn anyone into a mouse fan!
Pins
Pin collectors, listen up: if it’s at all possible, make your way to New York City! If you’re into collecting pins, the exhibition-exclusive pin sets are one of the hottest items in the shop that any avid collector definitely wants to get their hands on!
Beats
Beats has extended their marketing partnership! In addition to their unbelievably fruitful partnership with Apple, Beats teamed up with another mega brand to drive sales even further- any guesses what that brand might be?
The Walt Disney Company and Beats collaborated to include a special listening room that features Beats headphones. Mickey Mouse’s classic image plastered on those famous phones are a great selling point, and certainly succeeded in making me want a pair for Christmas!
New Era
The MLB’s official gameday cap also teamed up with Disney for a little shelf space in the Mickey Maker Shop. My exhibition buddy bought one of the fantastic hats (don’t tell him I told you, but he never takes it off his head!). And, in further celebration of Mickey’s golden birthday, the purchase of any of the caps include this exclusive 90th birthday patch!
