Launching in time for what looks like a tough winter in Manchester (and more importantly – for Christmas), US outdoor clothing brand Patagonia opened a new clothing store on King Street on 7 December 2017. The new shop occupying the building that formerly housed that other American clothing icon Tommy Hilfiger. Beginning (and still specialising) as a hiking and climbing wear store, Patagonia has become more of a fashion statement than an indication of your imminent trek across the mountains in South America and is regularly on the shelves on Manchester taste makers Oi Polloi. With this site specific store they will be catering to needs both for both the high street and the high peaks. This opening follows the launch of Swedish outdoor brand Fjallraven’s first standalone shop in the UK which is just around the corner on Old Bank Street.
Patagonia, 51 King Street, Manchester M2 7AZ. Tel: 0161 834 4005. Mon-Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 11am-5pm www.patagonia.com
