As if it weren't already easy to shop at hyper speeds (thank you, Lord Algorithm?), here comes a new way to snap your fingers and get your goods delivered ASAP. Enter FastAF, a new on-demand service that allows Angelenos and New Yorkers to order from some of today's coolest brands and get their merch within two hours.
The iOS app (coming soon for Android) is like a sleek version of Instacart for digital native brands that are typically only available online. The delivery platform is powered by parent company, Darkstore, a San Francisco-based startup that operates urban fulfillment centers for e-commerce brands. To coincide with FastAF's bicoastal beta launch, the company is also debuting in L.A. with a brick-and-mortar pop-up shop on Abbot Kinney.
Open through Thursday, Dec. 31, the Venice boutique stocks a range of items from direct-to-consumer labels — think kicks from Nike, bath and body products from Aesop, bedding from Parachute, underpinnings from Skims, skincare and cosmetics from Glossier, grooming products from Billie, beauty tools by Dyson, activewear from Outdoor Voices, fitness gear from TK, massage devices by Hypervolt, and high-end speakers from Sonos, to name a few.
You can also pick up groceries and home essentials, too. Expect to find Brightland olive oil, Magic Spoon cereal, beans from Copper Cow Coffee, wellness drinks by Unity and Vybes, Quip toothbrushes, pet food and treats from Max Bone and Finn, and more. For last-minute holiday shoppers, there's also a section of gift-ready goods.
Visitors will be given a face mask and tote bag when they arrive, plus a $20 credit for purchases made through the FastAF app. When COVID restrictions ease up, the space will host events such as a coffee bar, skincare demos, horoscrope readings, HIIT classes, giveaways, and more.
Take a peek at the modern shop and scroll through the gallery above, and see below for the store's hours and address.
FastAF pop-up, 1306 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, 90291; open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Dec. 31
