Canadian technical apparel brand Arc'teryx opened its largest Southern Hemisphere store on Friday in Sydney’s historic Queen Victoria Building. The three-level flagship introduces the brand’s Alpha store concept to Australia, spanning trail running, hiking, climbing, snow sports, footwear, and accessories. It also houses the country’s largest dedicated space for Veilance, Arc’teryx’s premium line, and includes a ReBird Service Centre for repairs and circularity. Bianca Bernardi, ANZ country director of parent company Amer Sports, called the store the brand’s most complete expression in Australia to date. The opening brings Arc’teryx’s Australian store count to 10 and more than 160 globally, with further expansion planned across Australia and New Zealand.
