Kathmandu has launched its first next-generation concept store in Australia at Westfield Chatswood, introducing a new retail format for the outdoor brand.
The store boasts a light-filled, open layout designed to evoke the calm and clarity of the outdoors, blending modern design with Kathmandu’s technical gear.
Digital mannequins, life-size high-resolution screens, show products in motion, while key items like the Trailhead Stretch Rain Jacket are highlighted with programmable lighting that shifts from morning sunrise tones to pink dusk hues.
“This store has always been about sparking a desire to get people outdoors, while showing off the technical performance behind our gear,” said Kathmandu CEO Megan Welch. “From the open aesthetic and the way we display product, every detail has been crafted to inspire. Chatswood marks a truly exciting step into the future of Kathmandu’s retail experience.”
