Arc'teryx to open first Scottish store in Edinburgh. Catherine Rowe-Kosary 29 October 2026 Canadian outdoor brand Arc'teryx will open its first store in Scotland in spring 2027, expanding its UK retail presence with a new location in Edinburgh city centre. The technical outerwear and equipment brand said the store will mark an important milestone in its continued expansion across the UK. It will give customers the opportunity to explore its clothing and outdoor equipment in person, while also serving as a meeting point for the local community. The opening will add to Arc'teryx's existing UK retail network, which includes three stores in London, at Covent Garden, Piccadilly and Battersea Power Station, as well as a location on New Cathedral Street in Manchester and an outlet store at Bicester Village. The Manchester store, which opened in 2025, marked the brand's first permanent retail location outside London. Its Edinburgh opening will extend its physical presence into Scotland as interest in technical outdoor clothing continues to reach consumers beyond traditional mountain sports. Arc'teryx specialises in high-performance apparel, footwear and equipment for activities including climbing, hiking and skiing. Its products have also gained wider appeal among consumers incorporating technical outdoor pieces into everyday wardrobes. However, the brand has stressed that its growing cultural relevance will not come at the expense of its performance-led identity. The Edinburgh opening forms part of a wider international retail expansion. Earlier this month, Arc'teryx opened a store in Venice, California, dedicated exclusively to climbing. It also opened a three-level Alpha Store in Montreal in September, designed to bring together retail, community and outdoor experiences. The brand opened its largest store in the southern hemisphere in Sydney, Australia, earlier this year. Arc'teryx's UK expansion follows the opening of its enlarged Covent Garden flagship in London, which features its ReBIRD service centre for repairs and product care, placing longevity and circularity at the centre of the retail experience.

ARC'TERYX's Walk Gently "Salish Winter" Collection dresses GORE-TEX in deer fur and cedar. A dedicated installation at Dover Street Market London unpacks the six-piece capsule. Summary. ARC'TERYX returns with "Salish Winter," the newest chapter of its Walk Gently platform spotlighting Indigenous artists, designers and their stories Creative lead Cole Sparrow-Crawford of the x[w]məθk[w]əy̓əm (Musqueam) nation shapes the gender-neutral apparel and footwear around Salish relationships to land and natural materials Deer-fur-inspired GORE-TEX prints, weaving references and cedar-tree camouflage translate traditional practices into cold-weather technical gear ARC'TERYX has unveiled Walk Gently "Salish Winter," a six-piece collection launching exclusively at Dover Street Market London. Led by Walk Gently creative lead Cole Sparrow-Crawford of the x[w]məθk[w]əy̓əm (Musqueam) nation, the capsule pairs the Vancouver brand's technical construction with design cues rooted in Salish winter life. Weaving, hide tanning and seasonal harvesting all inform the details, giving each piece a story that runs deeper than its spec sheet. The Dekoi Jacket anchors the collection as its technical centerpiece, a GORE-TEX hardshell finished in a print modeled on deer fur. That pattern nods directly to hide tanning, one of the practices the collection sets out to honor, while bursts of high-visibility orange cut through the earthy base to keep the wearer visible in snowy, low-light terrain. The result merges a waterproof, mountain-ready shell with a surface that reads like a material Salish communities have long relied on. Insulation arrives through the Mutton Insulated Jacket, offered in Arctic Silk/Rune, whose design pays tribute to Salish weaving traditions. Where the Dekoi handles weather protection, the Mutton is built for warmth, giving the capsule a layering system that can move from a heavy outer shell to a midweight insulated piece. The Adze Pant completes the ready-to-wear lineup in a matching Rune/Arctic Silk colorway, allowing the pant and insulated jacket to be worn as a coordinated set. Footwear and headwear extend the story to the extremities. The Konseal Trek Boots are engineered for winter ground and dressed in a Green/Black print drawn from cedar-tree camouflage, connecting the shoe to the forests that have sustained Salish communities. Two versions of the Selisya Toque, one in Tatsu/Blaze and one in Rune/Arctic Silk, finish off the drop and tie back to the palettes used across the jackets and pants. The release is grounded in place as much as design. ARC'TERYX was founded on the unceded territories of the x[w]məθk[w]əy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples, the original caretakers of the land now known as Vancouver, and Walk Gently was created to share Indigenous work in the designers' own voices. By centering those traditions, the platform states in the release that "it is our hope that everyone in the outdoor community may more deeply consider the places we journey through." Each Walk Gently collection also directs funds and product back to the communities it celebrates, while the broader program aims to raise Indigenous representation across the outdoor industry and in mountain spaces. ARC'TERYX Walk Gently "Salish Winter" is available now in-store at Dover Street Market London and on the DSML E-SHOP, with a dedicated installation on view at the London store from October 21 to October 30.
