Herschel Supply Co. Launches on Robson Street

Interiors Shine with Herschel’s Playfulness

The new flagship may not be as creatively flashy as the Gastown location but still boasts a  curated selection of large-scale artwork,  vintage pieces, found objects, and rugs from all over the world connect customers back to Herschel  Supply’s creative culture and sense of adventure.

Other design elements include a custom digital sidewalk installation—utilizing angled reflective surfaces, the installation shoots motion video back into space, creating an eye-catching visual for passersby—and a cascading photo essay in the store’s fitting room.  In addition to the brand’s diverse range of iconic backpacks, duffles, luggage, travel accessories,  and updated apparel line, the new flagship store will be home to the Herschel Supply Book Fair, a  curated reading area with books and magazines centred around Art, Architecture,  Photography/Graphics, Music/Film, Travel, and Leisure.

An Opportunity to Foster Community

“At Herschel Supply, we offer classic products with a modern twist, and that design ethos extends to the way we think about retail too,” says Lyndon Cormack, Managing Director and Co-Founder at  Herschel Supply. “Retail is an opportunity to have fun and foster community, we wanted to make sure  that our store reflected that by creating a space that inspires creativity and connection.”

Herschel Supply Robson promises that it will serve as the brand’s dynamic retail hub and platform for local artists,  designers, musicians, and other creatives, hosting artist-in-residence programs, workshops, speaker series, and community events.
