Warhorse Workshop and Billy Reid will also host a preview shindig sponsored by Dogfish Head beer on Friday, May 20th from 7-11 p.m. at 1841 Peachtree Rd. This will be the global launch of Warhorse Workshop and they'll be showing their new line of expertly handmade leather goods as well as their collaboration with Ebbets Field caps, and Billy Reid will feature current collections along with their latest J.Crew and K-Swiss collaborations!


The pre-party is free and open to the public. The Southern Swap Meet will include a $5 entry fee that goes to support the Atlanta Street Food Coalition's efforts towards making street food a larger part of Atlanta's culture.
