Shopping in Chinatown usually means haggling for fake Rolexes and Louis bags, but for two days, a secret Canal Street pop-up from Asian mega-brew Tiger Beer will be importing premium gear, accessories and decor crafted by Asian and Asian-American artists from all over the world.

Tomorrow and Wednesday from 6 to 9pm, the Tiger Trading Co. will take over the storefront at 343 Canal St, giving out over 500 designer items ranging from SQ37 leather sneakers made by Square Street in Singapore to a folding bamboo bike from Vietnam's Mekong++ and a traditional Chinese dye jacket from Hong Kong's Goods of Desire—all to celebrate and promote Asian creativity and culture. 

To enter the store, you'll need to obtain a Tiger Beer coaster (below) from nearby bars and restaurants such as Macao Trading Co., Nom Wah Tea Parlor and Pizza Beach LES. That coaster will also be redeemable for one item in the store—and yes, everything is 100-percent free.
