Kicking a Boot Brand into Fashionable New Territory

Hunter Boots Makes a Stylish NYC Debut with JAQUE

How do you merge a brand’s rugged roots with its fashion-forward future? You trust JAQUE.

For more than 160 years, Hunter Boots has been a British icon, crafting high-performance, waterproof boots for farmers, workers, and everyday outdoor enthusiasts. Recently, however, the brand has evolved, transforming its practical roots into a global fashion statement. When it came time to make a bold entry into New York City—the heart of the fashion world—Hunter Boots turned to JAQUE to design two standout retail spaces: a pop-up store in Grand Central Station and a permanent downtown flagship store.

Pop-Up Store: A Misty Greenhouse in Grand Central Station

To coincide with New York’s iconic Fashion Week, JAQUE designed a pop-up store that was as innovative as it was visually striking.

Design Highlights:

  • A Greenhouse Concept: JAQUE created a misty greenhouse structure to showcase Hunter Boots’ waterproof performance, offering an immersive experience that captured attention.
  • Edgy Elegance: Matte black windowpanes gave the greenhouse an industrial yet fashionable vibe, ensuring it stood out amidst the bustling terminal.
  • Playful Visuals: Brightly colored rain gear on mannequins paired with hovering umbrellas created an irresistible draw for passersby, making the store both approachable and memorable.

Downtown Flagship Store: Industrial Elegance Meets Heritage Design

For the permanent downtown store, JAQUE took a different approach, blending Hunter Boots’ rich history with contemporary aesthetics.

Design Highlights:

  • Heritage-Inspired Exterior: JAQUE adorned the storefront with industrial metal accents and Hunter Boots’ iconic red and black branding, paying homage to the company’s storied past.
  • Industrial Interiors: Exposed pipes and industrial fixtures highlighted the brand’s rugged roots while adding a bold, modern edge.
  • Guided Shopping Experience: Sharp, protruding structures subtly guided customers through the store while drawing attention to key product displays, making the shopping experience both intuitive and engaging.

A Perfect Blend of Past and Future

JAQUE’s designs for both the pop-up and flagship stores beautifully captured the essence of Hunter Boots: practical yet stylish, timeless yet modern. By celebrating the brand’s heritage while pointing toward a more fashion-forward future, she created spaces that resonated with both long-time fans and a new generation of fashion enthusiasts.
