The move comes as part of Vuori's larger international ambitions. Earlier this year, the maker of performance and leisure apparel opened its first international markets in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Australia, and Canada. The brand continues to grow in those countries, through eCommerce, wholesale and retail channels. Vuori opened its first store outside of the US in London's Covent Garden earlier this month, and added a few key new wholesale partners in the fall, including Harrods and Equinox in the UK, and Breuninger in Germany.

Next year, the brand intends to launch in Japan and Korea (via partnership), while opening additional stores in the UK and building on the foundations across all channels in its initial markets.

Established in 2015 by Founder and CEO Joe Kudla, Vuori has grown to unicorn status thanks to its differentiated, versatile perspective on performance apparel. Expansion outside of the US is a key strategy for furthering the brand's growth and profitability. Last year, Vuori received a $400 million investment by the SoftBank Vision Fund 2, which valued the brand at $4 billion.

As it reaches new markets around the globe, Vuori continues to enrich its product offering, support its sustainability goals and make key investments in infrastructure and people. The brand plans to operate 100 stores in the US by 2026 and will hire 100 additional people to work at its California headquarters by the end of 2022. This year, Joe Kudla was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 Pacific Southwest Award winner by Ernst & Young and Vuori also announced it is Climate Neutral Certified for the third year in a row.
