Columbia Sportswear unveils The Endor Collection, its largest special-edition Star Wars-inspired release to date. This 20-piece lineup blends Columbia’s signature performance technologies with detailed designs inspired by the Rebel Alliance’s mission to Endor in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

Drawing design inspiration from the forest moon’s lush terrain and Columbia’s Pacific Northwest roots, the collection reimagines iconic looks from the film, including Han Solo’s trench coat, Luke and Leia’s camouflage ponchos, and the Rebel troop uniforms. Each piece features story-driven elements such as camo prints inspired by the attire worn by the Rebels on Endor, Rebel Alliance insignias, and incorporates key Columbia technology like custom Omni-Heat Infinity linings that capture the adventure and spirit of the Battle of Endor.

Columbia Sportswear has launched The Endor Collection, its largest Star Wars-inspired lineup yet, featuring 20 pieces blending performance tech with designs drawn from the rebel mission on Endor.
Modelled by Billie Lourd, the range includes han solo and rebel-inspired outerwear, Ewok fleece for kids, and gear packed with Aurebesh details, camo prints and Omni-Heat innovations.

The marketing campaign stars Billie Lourd, known for her role as Lieutenant Connix in the Star Wars sequel trilogy and daughter of Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia Organa in the Star Wars films. Lourd modeled the collection among the California Redwoods, joined by her own children wearing Ewok-inspired fleeces.

“Finding new ways to honor my mom’s legacy in the Star Wars universe is something that means so much to me,” said Lourd. “Columbia did such a beautiful job incorporating the ‘Battle of Endor’ into this collection. Getting to wear the iconic pieces they created and getting to have my family bring that story to life for fans was an incredibly special experience and a memory I will cherish forever.”

Each design in The Endor Collection includes thoughtful easter eggs crafted to make fans feel part of General Han Solo’s strike team on Endor. Some examples include the planetary coordinates of Endor, secret messages in Aurebesh, and storytelling patches inspired by details from the Battle of Endor mission.

“Our Star Wars collaborations are an annual highlight, and our teams have a blast trying to outdo our previous collections,” said Matt Merriman, Vice President of Global Brand Development, Partnerships and Licensing at Columbia. “This year, we were thrilled not only to create a line so connected with the Redwoods and the Pacific Northwest, but it’s been especially meaningful to have Billie at the center of our efforts, celebrating her mother’s iconic role as Princess Leia.”

The end of 2025 marks a phase of acceleration for Lacroix, which is strengthening its mountain presence with the opening of two owned boutiques in emblematic French resorts. On November 29, the brand opened its first store in Val d’Isère, followed on December 4 by a boutique in Courchevel 1850. These two strategic addresses, each spanning 140 square metres, underscore Lacroix’s determination to establish a lasting presence in the leading premium ski destinations.

In Val d’Isère, the brand has set up a chalet-style boutique at Parc 1963, avenue Olympique, conceived as a warm, contemporary refuge. In Courchevel 1850, the Lacroix Igloo, located on rue des Verdons, offers a more minimalist, architectural aesthetic inspired by the purity of the high mountains. Coinciding with these openings is the launch of an exclusive Lacroix x Courchevel capsule, further reinforcing the brand’s visibility over the winter season.

Founded in 1966 by Léo Lacroix, an Olympic alpine skiing champion, the brand has established itself as a benchmark in high-end French skiing thanks to its exacting standards of technical expertise and performance. After a more challenging period marked by safeguard proceedings, Lacroix embarked on a new phase of development from 2022, following its takeover by Günther Doll and Damien Bodoy. This relaunch centres on a clear upmarket repositioning. Today, production is carried out mainly in Italy and Portugal, while the historic factory remains in Italy.

As part of this strategy, the brand is stepping up targeted collaborations to reach a younger clientele and refresh its image. The collaboration with Jacquemus follows a deliberately timed schedule: the capsule has been available since December 1, a few days before the opening of the Courchevel 1850 boutique and immediately after the opening in Val d’Isère.

With these two openings, Lacroix now operates two owned boutiques, alongside 45 wholesale points of sale in France and 20 internationally, notably in Korea, Canada, the US, and Austria. The brand anticipates 30% growth and plans to open around 10 new points of sale over the coming years. Revenue is estimated at 2.2 million euros in 2025, with a clear ambition to reach 10 million euros by 2028-2030. In this vein, Lacroix is already preparing its next collaboration with APM Monaco for the 2026/2027 season.
