Streamlined shopping

The new Everlane Fit Studio is the latest addition to the brand’s Mission District headquarters in San Francisco, and is heavily influenced by the technological efficiencies afforded by Silicon Valley. Rather than aggressive shop assistants, shoppers are greeted by a discrete concierge who takes their bags and payment details. The store’s up-front check-in system reduces the final checkout time to 30 seconds, according to Everlane.

The 1,200-square-foot space shares the Everlane website’s minimal aesthetic, and technology is used to streamline the shopping experience to provide the best of digital and physical.

‘Traditional store shopping is broken, and we are seeing how we can make it better,’ says Everlane founder and CEO Michael Preysman. The store is described as a ‘petri dish’ that will enable the brand to examine new retail concepts and technology.
