TORONTO, ON, Oct. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Canada
Goose opens its doors at South Coast Plaza. The brand is bringing
its Canadian heritage to the West Coast, with quintessential
products for Californians – offering supreme functionality and
protection for any adventure. The iconic Snow Room, the next
generation of the brand's award-winning Cold Room, arrives in
the United States for the first
time at this store, giving guests the opportunity to explore Canada
Goose's extensive product library and trusted expertise in
performance.
For locals who want to feel the Arctic, the store's Snow Room
simulates a daily snowstorm with temperatures reaching as low as
-10°F. This innovative retail experience replicates various weather
conditions, an invitation to put Canada Goose products to the
ultimate test in functionality. The Snow Room's environment is
inspired by the climate of Churchill,
Manitoba, best known as the Polar Bear capital of the world,
and home to longstanding Canada Goose partner, Polar Bears
International (PBI), the non-profit organization dedicated to
advocacy and the worldwide conservation of polar bears and their
habitats.
Known around the world as a performance luxury essential, Canada
Goose can be seen on city streets, mountain peaks and film sets,
alike, with a variety of ideal products for the West Coast
lifestyle. The brand's lightweight down jackets are made for every
day, perfect for chasing sunsets in Malibu and hiking in Griffith Park. The newest
line of lightweight down jackets, puffers and vests, called
the Cypress and Crofton
collections, are made with the brand's Recycled Feather-Light
Ripstop Fabric, which is 100% Recycled Nylon and includes a
water-repellent finish. The HyBridge® collection provides
lightweight warmth that is designed to move with you, perfect for
active use, layering and on-the-go adventures. Packable and
portable, these styles are also the perfect travel companion. The
selection of knit sweaters, hoodies and zip-ups, made with Merino
Wool and Organic Cotton, are fit for a casual, laid back look.
Thermal Mapping® technology is incorporated in the knit styles to
maximize warmth and breathability with strategically placed
down-filled panels and a more open knit construction in areas that
are prone to overheating.
Canada Goose's HUMANATURE platform is the driving force of its
purpose to keep the planet cold and the people on it warm.
HUMANATURE unites the brand's sustainability and values-based
initiatives, including its Sustainable Impact Strategy,
philanthropic work and dedication to culture through the arts.
HUMANATURE is brought to life in the South Coast Plaza store
through the Northern Art Program, which celebrates Northern
Canadian artists. For this location, the brand partnered with
artist, Winnie Truong. Truong's
artwork for the space, titled Zephyr, is a stop-motion
animation work created entirely with cut paper that guests can
experience in the Snow Room. Zephyr is inspired by the idea
of the invisible made visible, with impressions of flora and
landscapes of the Los Angeles area
and beyond – across San Bernardino Forest, and towards Joshua Tree. Guests will be treated to an
entrancing animation of beautiful scenes that rise and fall with
the introduction of new environments. Additional illustrations and
sculptures by Inuit artisans are showcased throughout the store,
all embodying the symbiotic relationship between people and the
planet.
On November 12, Canada Goose's
brand-new Footwear collection will be available in-store. The
collection complements and completes the Canada Goose lifestyle.
The collection features two styles: the Snow Mantra Boots and
Journey Boots. The Snow Mantra Boots are born from the brand's Snow
Mantra Parka, renowned as the warmest coat on Earth and designed
with functional intention. The Journey Boots are expertly crafted
in Italy and built for the demands
of the everyday. Designed with an iconic squared off-toe, The
Journey was inspired by classic Hiker boots worn in the Alps.
This location will also carry the brand's highly sought-after
collaborations and special collections, including Canada Goose's
collection with Polar Bears International (PBI), comprised of
men's, women's and children's lightweight down jackets, parkas,
rainwear and accessories. With every purchase, Canada Goose donates
a portion of the proceeds to PBI, to aid in environmental research
and polar bear advocacy.
Canada Goose continues to transform the way it does business and
ensures its commitments are embedded across its operations,
including its ambitious goals of achieving net zero carbon
emissions, going plastic-free and integrating recycled and organic
fibres into all of its products which will be available for
purchase at the South Coast Plaza store. In June 2021, Canada Goose also announced its
commitment to end the use of all fur, a decision driven by
HUMANATURE and relentless innovation.
