Kit and Ace, the Canadian "technical luxury" retailer, has opened a pop-up shop on London's Regent Street.

The new store measures 1,800 sqft. and sells selected items from the Kit and Ace collection, including core styles made from Kit and Ace's Technical Cashmere. Since it was founded in Vancouver in 2014, Kit and Ace has opened 32 doors and five pop-ups. It also has another London store on Redchurch Street in the trendy Shoreditch area.

"We've had a positive response in the UK and look forward to continuing this success on Regent Street," says co-founder JJ Wilson. "We're offering locals a space to discover great clothing, hyper-local artwork and culture to drive real conversations - it's a different way to shop."

In the Regent Street space, Kit and Ace will display the work of Olivia Yu, a local artist, and an Iconic Photograph shot by Conor McNeil.

The brand plans to have 40 years worldwide by the end of this year and just recently announced the opening of its first store in Japan later this month.
