NEW YORK, NY, USA, December 2, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- 26Red, the 90’s streetwear brand for men and women opens its first flagship store since its resurgence this year. Under the direction of the original founder, John Bernard, the brand has been given a new life with a revamped heritage collection, a beautiful retail experience, and new designs. — John Bernard, founder 26Red
The 600-square-foot store features a colorful, retro vibe that compliments the brand’s 1990’s aesthetic. The location also is fitting. At 145 Orchard Street in New York City, the retail shop sits among other independent streetwear boutiques in the hustle and bustle of the city.
“We are thrilled with how the store turned out, and the response we’ve been getting from shoppers,” Bernard said. “It’s an exciting time for 26Red and for those looking for great statement pieces, and everyday fashion.”
The 26Red boutique will host a grand opening event in spring 2022. Details will be released as soon as they are available.
Bernard revamped the 26Red line in August 2021, alongside his children, who helped breathe new life into the revamped heritage collection. The first collection features unisex colorful tees, hoodies and bucket hats featuring quintessentially iconic graphics inspired by music and art. The new styles are a playful look back at the 90s streetwear and skate lifestyle, while including modern touches that still honor the heritage of the brand.
“The response to the brand relaunch has been overwhelming,” Bernard said. “We are bringing back the classics to our core market, while adding a few new art-centric designs that will help push 26Red into the future.”

ABOUT 26RED
26Red was relaunched in 2021 under the direction of its original founder, John Bernard. When his four children started seeing vintage 26Red pieces selling on Etsy and Depop, the vision was reborn as a family-operated company. Originally created in Laguna Beach, Calif. out of the American rave scene in 1990, the brand created its legacy starting as a graphics-driven collection with the 26Red logo and its iconic dancing cat graphic acting as mascot for the line. By 1997, the brand evolved into a full sportswear collection for men and women, later adding footwear and eyewear. Selling to key accounts and boutiques both nationally and internationally, including Zumiez and Urban Outfitters, 26Red grew eventually into a $30 million dollar company and household name. The Bernard family has revamped the collection, with music and art at its core, and opened a New York City flagship store in fall of 2021.
