Outdoor apparel and equipment brand Arc’teryx has upped the ante in Sydney with a brand new flagship store. Occupying no less than 476 sqm. (5,124 sq.ft.) across three levels on the premises of the Queen Victoria Building, a heritage-listed late-19th-century structure and popular shopping centre, it’s the very first flagship store Down Under for the Vancouver-based company. Mind you, Arc’teryx already operates nine stores nationwide. Entirely designed in-house, the retail space features a wide variety of sections and nooks which aim to elevate the shopping experience, offering its target demographic not only a genuine connection to the brand DNA, technical innovation, and craftsmanship, but also adding design integrity and mountain culture as well. The retail space also comes with a full-fledged ReBIRDTM Service Centre, the brand’s platform for circularity focused on extending the life of products and keeping gear in play for as long as possible.
The facility reflects Arc’teryx’s long-standing focus on durability, craftsmanship and responsible product design, reinforcing the belief that the best products are not only built to perform, but also built to last. The new Arc’teryx flagship store stocks the brand’s full range of women’s and men’s high-performance apparel and equipment, but also features Australia‘s biggest section dedicated to its exclusive Veilance apparel line. The on-site service centre offers the following services: technical cleaning and reproofing designed to restore performance and refresh technical materials including GORE-TEX® and down insulation. Repairing wear and tear to help return products to optimal performance condition and extend their lifespan with industry leading technology, and last but not least, product care & sssessment by helping shoppers to better understand how to maintain and care for technical product over time. © superfuture

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
