Set in the 1980s, the Duffer Brothers show is rife with merch opportunities: from classic toys and vintage mall brands to nostalgic chart-toppers, every scene is feeding viewers’ nostalgia — or making what’s old new again for younger fans.
Fashion and accessories brands including JanSport, Quiksilver, MAC Cosmetics, Timex, Lokai and Casetify (which releases its collection of tech accessories on July 7) are just a handful of companies that are cashing in on Stranger Things merch mania. In addition to Netflix’s online store and one-stop merch shops at Box Lunch, Hot Topic, Target and Walmart, fans can also stock up at retailers including Kohl’s, Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters.
Southern California-based Quiksilver rolled out four Stranger Things collections, including a wardrobe capsule of pieces worn by characters in the show and retro apparel inspired by archive designs. The show has also teamed with Target on a fan-designed collection of tees, puzzles and posters featuring original illustrations by artists Monique Aimee, Cymone Wilder, Raul Urias and Travis Knight. JanSport turned its popular bag styles from the ’80s into carryalls that might be worn by Dustin, Mike, “Jane,” Will and Max, while hair accessories brand Kitsch has released a Eleven-inspired collection of pillowcases, eye masks and hair scrunchies inspired by superhero teen’s time at Hawkins National Laboratory.
Fans can further immerse themselves into the show’s world at IRL experiences around the world. Following pop-ups earlier this year in Los Angeles and New York, the official Stranger Things store is now open for a limited time in Chicago, Dallas and Paris. The immersive retail space brings to life the Byers’ living room, the halls of Hawkins High School, the Russian Lab, the Starcourt Mall and other iconic scenes from seasons one to three. There’s also the Stranger Things Experience, an escape room-style event featuring food, photo opps, live performances and more; it’s currently open in New York through Aug. 7, San Francisco until Aug. 14 and in >London until Oct. 30.
