The North Face x Gucci Collection: avatar items now available in Pokémon GO

Real world meets virtual world: Italian luxury house Gucci and US outerwear brand The North Face announced their collaboration for a new collection just shortly before the holidays. Now the two veterans demonstrate how to place one’s products in the virtual world.

For a limited time only, items from the The North Face x Gucci collection will be available in Pokémon GO.

In North America, the items are available at 27 Gucci PokéStops, including in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Orlando, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver. In Australia, they are available in Sydney and Melbourne and worldwide in many locations in Asia, The Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
