I never thought I would see the day when my favorite adventuring brand set foot on our shores. The Fjallraven New York Store is about to open, which is great news for Swedephiles like myself.
The Swedish company is bringing its rugged line of backpacks, jackets, shoes, axes and anything else you could want to New York. And I for one am pumped. The store has a very minimalist Swedish feel to it, but it also features some chic designer details. Check out the gallery for a look at the Fjallraven New York store.
