Just though these photos might interest the people who haven’t been able to make it into town since the new shop opened. I know I haven’t had the chance to visit it yet! I think it looks pretty nice inside. Not too cramped it looks like which is defo a good thing.

From TNF’s website:

Topher Gaylord, President Outdoor International, comprising The North Face® and JanSport®, states, “Together with our retail partner, Great Outdoors, and architectural design team, Brombini & Saccardo, we’ve been able to create the optimal environment to showcase the complete range of The North Face® products.” Gerry Collins, Director of Great Outdoors, added, “This is a fantastic opportunity for us and The North Face. The dual technical and lifestyle appeal of The North Face brand means that we can look forward to working with our existing consumers, as well as work towards attracting new Dublin consumers, too.”

The 124 sqm retail store will be located on Temple Lane South, in the heart of Dublin’s shopping and dining district. The store’s conception and layout were designed exclusively for The North Face® brand by Italian design firm Brombini & Saccardo.
