Organised by Native Flame Eco Candles founder Samara Lee and Embalm Skincare founder Mel Driver, the shop aims to give Tasmania's makers a space to display their collections.
Ms Driver said many of the pieces were created with eco-friendly, recycled, and sustainable materials, and were inspired by nature in their styles and colour palettes.
"Everything is handmade, and it all fits within the same style," she said.
"We've got some beautiful organic cotton pyjamas down to beeswax wraps, natural perfumes, natural skincare, candles, pottery - everything is basically made with materials the earth has to offer."
Ms Driver said not only was it a fantastic collection of products, but also a great collaboration between the different makers.
"A lot of the makers we're featuring in our pop-up shop are not actually very well-known and also not really represented in many, or any, retail stores around the state," she said.
"It's a really good opportunity for the Launceston community to actually discover some new makers."
Ms Driver said there were about 27 makers displaying their wares from throughout the state.
"We've got a lady from Port Arthur, and we've got people from the East Coast and the Huon Valley, and then the Northern area as well," she said.
Inside the store is also a pop-up cafe run by Tulah's Kitchen, where alongside hot drinks shoppers can grab gluten-free and vegan slices to enjoy while browsing.
"It's definitely something different," she said.
The Indie Pop Up Shop is open at 76 George Street.
The shop will run until Sunday, June 2, and is open 9.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm on Saturday, and 10am to 2pm on Sunday.
