Canada Goose Has Arrived In Melbourne

Following the lasting hype of its Sydney pop-up, heritage label Canada Goose has opened its first permanent Australian locale in Melbourne’s fashion capital, Chadstone.
Adorning the entrance is a striking marble facade—which acts as a beacon of the quality you’ll find in-store. Within, you’ll find the label's full range for adults and children alike, covering off fashion-forward pieces and robust kit for the hardcore outdoor types.
All of Canada Goose’s range blends function and form seamlessly, and for an Australian audience, you’ll likely see their Freestyle and Cypress vests taking centre stage around town, both as a transeasonal piece, and as a warmer layer for when winter sets in. Meanwhile, those who’ll be finding themselves in sub-zero temperatures, whether that be in Victoria’s high country during the cold months or overseas, can opt for Canada Goose’s outerwear range—with pieces like the Lawrence Long Puffer and Langford Parker providing an impenetrable layer of warmth.
Exclusively available at Chadstone for Australians hoping to get into some Goose is the limited NBA Collection x KidSuper capsule. Comprised of four pieces, all feature the designer’s signature whimsical style, and there’s no doubt that the reversible fleece jacket is going to be a favourite in Melbourne thanks to that mossy camo-like print.
An umbrella over all of Canada Goose’s products is their commitment to sustainability. They call it HUMANATURE, which is an ethos that translates their commitment to the environment and their communities. They’re certified under the Responsible Down Standard, and their goal is to reach zero emissions by 2025.
You’ll no doubt see the unwavering quality and commitment to sustainability when visiting the Chadstone location, though something first-time visitors might not expect to see is Canada Goose’s Cold Room. Doing exactly what it says on the label and complete with ice sculptures, the Cold Room drops to -25° celsus, allowing punters to test-run their new Canada Goose piece in some of the coolest conditions.
