On Saturday, October 10, a new corner for the British outdoor brand Rab (ラブ) opens inside ZANE ARTS Kobe Sannomiya. Fans of Rab have been growing since the backpack "Muon" (ムオン) became a major hit in recent years, yet there are few places in Japan where the Rab lineup can be seen together in one spot. The new corner is meant to answer the growing demand from people who want to see the products in person.
The products on display start with the 2026 autumn/winter models, and the lineup centers on apparel.
Opening Event: Apparel Display POP UP and Backpack Experience
On the opening weekend, Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11, a POP UP is held separately from the retail corner. It features an apparel display that introduces the brand as a whole, and visitors can try out a variety of backpacks. It is a chance to experience Rab firsthand.
Opening Giveaway
Customers who purchase Rab products worth ¥5,000 or more (tax included) receive a Rab stuff sack, available to the first 20 customers. The color and size cannot be selected.
What Is Rab?
Trusted mountain gear made by people who know the mountains
Rab was founded in 1981 in Sheffield by Robert Carrington, a leading British alpine climber. Drawing on his own climbing experience, the brand has made high-quality, functional down wear and sleeping bags. Since its founding, it has focused on the purpose of each product and the functions it needs, repeating field tests and adopting only designs and materials that work in practice. That commitment to cutting out excess and making gear that can be relied on in the mountains remains unchanged today.
The brand also places emphasis on repair rather than replacement, valuing a culture of using good gear for a long time. Today it actively uses new materials that are kinder to the environment, developing products that combine high performance with sustainability.
