DESIGN AMBASSADOR NICOLE MCLAUGHLIN CREATES A FIVE-PIECE UPCYCLED CAPSULE COLLECTION. ALL 5 ITEMS WILL BE RAFFLED OFF WITH PROCEEDS GOING TO OUR EVENT BENEFICIARY, THE LAGARTIJAS CLIMBING CRU
This one-of-a-kind capsule collection utilizes leftover materials from the Arc'teryx: Circular by Design workshop in New York combined with used materials sourced from Arc One. A Bora backpack, various Alpha and Beta jackets, and gloves, now imbued with Nicole's design sensibility, have found a second life as a pair of pants, jacket, a bucket hat, stool, and bag.

If you're not located in Los Angeles, don't fret. Enter below between June 10-17th for an opportunity to get your hands on the pants or bucket hat. Keep a keen eye on the @arcteryxacademy Instagram channel for more information about the online raffle.
Nicole McLaughlin is a New York-based designer who spun a side-interest in upcycling off-cast sample shoes and materials salvaged from the dumpsters from her office at Reebok, into a full-time independent design practice garnering a fan base with more than 500,000 instagram followers. Fuelled by curiosity and outrage at waste, McLaughlin’s genius is for hacking the potential of all things, even those things that seem spent. “I never give up on materials.” In her practice, McLaughlin plays with the shape and substance of sustainability by reinterpreting used or salvaged materials and everyday household objects, from Sharpies to volleyballs to baguettes, into fashion items.
