Filson Opens Rad New Store in NYC
By Seattle Mag May 12, 2014
!–paging_filter–pSeattle’s oldest homegrown outdoor outfitter, a href=”http://\/\/staging.seattlemag.com/filson“Filson/a, purveyor of “Unfailing Goods”, took a bite out of the Big Apple last weekend, opening their first retail outlet on the East Coast in New York City’s NoHo district (40 Great Jones Street between the Bowery and Lafayette Streets) next to an apparently iconic (and I’m sure amazing) a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firehouse,_Engine_Company_33_and_Ladder_Com…” target=”_blank”Beaux Arts firehouse/a./p

The new store is the brand’s first to offer their new line of camera bags, developed in collaboration with a href=”http://www.magnumphotos.com/” target=”_blank”Magnum Photos/a./p
