Arc'teryx descends on Osaka! Clothing, coffee, and repair all in one place.
ARC'TERYX in OSAKA

Arc'teryx descends on Osaka! Clothing, coffee, and repair all in one place.

A minimalist design, performance-enhancing three-dimensional construction, and the iconic ancestor bird . Yes, that's right, ARC'TERYX, a leader in the outdoor scene. Following the opening of its flagship store in Marunouchi, Tokyo last October, the brand, which has been delivering world-class functional products to the world, will open its largest flagship store in Japan in October 2023. The store will offer men's and women's clothing as well as the world's first permanent café, and will feature three floors dedicated to expressing the Arc'teryx worldview.

3F BETA CAFE & ReBIRD™. You can experience Philosophy on your skin.
Community Space.

The word "beta" is also the model name of the brand's famous jacket and means "information" in climbing terminology. The first café under the direct management of Arc'teryx is the BETA CAFE, located on the third floor. This café has teamed up with Elmer's Green, a café in Osaka that has an established reputation for its home-roasted coffee, to offer three different blends inspired by the brand, as well as traditional Canadian sweets.

Among the three original blends available, Novant Blend ¥700 is mellow and easy to drink, while Nanaimo Bar ¥500, which originated in the Canadian city of Nanaimo, is a sweet treat to enjoy with coffee. The three layers of chocolate, cream, and cookies provide not only a sweet taste, but also a pleasant texture.

To embody the "information" that has become the backbone of the store name, we plan to hold seminars highlighting the brand's gear, exhibitions of artwork, and other events. Our goal is to become a community place where all kinds of people can come and go, and where users can share information with each other.

. of course, it also serves as a relaxing space after a day of shopping on the first or second floor. While settling into the elegant mid-century sofas, visitors can browse the racks of books about the mountains.

Also located in the back of the store is the ReBIRD™ Service Counter, the second such location in Japan following the Tokyo Marunouchi Brand Store. The staff members on duty will give you a lecture on how to perform maintenance and answer any questions you may have about repairs. This corner embodies the philosophy of Arc'teryx, which has been involved in sustainability programs since its establishment.
