In 2020, as part of their rebranding to Dolpo Gear, a leading Nepali brand known for crafting high-quality travel gear and casual wear, our client sought to establish a physical storefront that would reflect their renewed commitment to innovation and excellence. The challenge was to transform an existing residential building into a commercial outlet that not only aligned with Dolpo’s branding but also provided an immersive shopping experience that highlighted their unique products.
Dolpo Gear’s ethos—blending traditional Nepali artistry with modern functionality—guided our design approach. We aimed to create a space that embodied the spirit of adventure, which is central to Dolpo’s brand identity. The design was carefully crafted to showcase their wide range of products, from durable backpacks to cozy jackets, ensuring that each item was presented in a way that communicated both quality and accessibility.
We meticulously integrated Dolpo’s branding elements into the storefront, using materials, colors, and textures that echoed the brand’s values. The layout was designed to be both functional and inviting, encouraging customers to explore the full range of offerings while enjoying a seamless and engaging shopping experience.
Throughout the project, we provided comprehensive construction administration services, ensuring that every detail of the design was executed to the highest standards. The result was a storefront that not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations, creating a commercial space that truly represents Dolpo Gear’s dedication to offering great quality at an affordable price.
