Nautica Japan opens up its first-ever pop-up retail location in Hong Kong at the HBX store location, led by the mind of Creative Director Akio Hasegawa. The new range is curated for the Spring/Summer 2022 season packed with menswear looks. This includes a limited polo top and a pocket tee that is only available to the global online platform.
To mark the new collaboration, each design is tagged with the co-branding details that are updated by Japanese graffiti artists JOTA and LURK for a unique look. The highlighting items of the new pop-up showcase the flat-lay of the soft goods including the bucket hats and even the shoelaces. Notably, the entrance features clear umbrellas marked with branding details.
