All the activewear and outdoor apparel brands clustered on West 14th Street just got a Swedish flair. Fjällräven's latest Manhattan store has just landed in the Meatpacking District, following a Soho flagship that debuted two years ago.

Located at 450 West 14th Street just under the High Line, the brand known best for their Kanken rucksacks is one of many athletic and outdoors-focused brands to pop up in this area under the High Line recently. Once a hotspot for designers like Alexander McQueen, this stretch of 14th Street is now home to a lot of athletic and outdoor brands. Alongside Fjällräven, the Quiksilver surf, skate, and snowboarding concept shop Boardriders is also in the area neighboring athletic favorites like Sorel, Lululemon, Columbia Sportswear and Patagonia.

To all of Manhattan's great outdoorspeople and athleisure enthusiasts: Even if you can't get out of town for a commune with nature, you can head over to the Meatpacking District to get a quick outdoor fix.
