“What will really move the needle on circular business models is the circular consumer experience,” Karl-Hendrik Magnus, senior partner with the global consulting giant, wrote in the report. “As soon as some brands enable great ways of returning your garments into a circular cycle—not having to carry them back to the store but having them picked up, without any hassle, at your doorstep—and with a brand actually knowing what you have in your wardrobe, bidding for that, and sending you reminders of what would be great to bring back into the circularity cycle, then the experience will become so pleasant that mass participation of consumers will happen.”

Arc’teryx has partnered with Grailed for an exclusive sale of 10 rare archival pieces. The sale covers vintage one-of-one pieces from past collections dating back to 2001 that have been fully restored through Arc’teryx’s ReBird Program. Each piece will be sold for the same price it was sold for retail at launch. All proceeds from the sale will be matched by Grailed and go towards Climbers of Color, a non-profit that aims to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the climbing and mountaineering community by providing supportive mentorship, technical training, and access to resources such as gear and scholarships. Each piece in the sale has been restored using proprietary raw materials and reconstructed to the brand’s strict standards. The 10 heritage pieces include the Sidewinder SV, Beta AR, Theta AR, Gamma AR, and Alpha SV jackets from the years 2001-2006. Today, the pieces will be displayed at Arc’teryx’s new ReBird Service Center at 547 Broadway in SoHo before being available on Grailed tomorrow.

All items are embroidered with both brands’ logos, Arc’teryx’s signature skeletal bird logo flying high atop Jil Sander’s sans serif.
