Aritzia

I want to give this place 4 stars, but there is something about it that seems a little too pretentious for my liking. The boutique is designed with luxurious décor, but the luxe relaxing vibe is destroyed by ridiculously loud music. And a lot of the clients here are spoiled teen and tween girls who don’t mind using mommy’s and daddy’s Visa card to pay for $ 100 tshirts, which is somewhat off-​putting. (it’s worth noting that the merchandise here is pricey, and not ideal for frugal folks).
This said, I am a huge fan of some of their products. I’ve purchased a TNA bag here (yes, one if those bags that everyone seems to have nowadays…), and despite the abuse the bag has taken, it’s still in immaculate shape. I also love being able to purchase Rock N Republic jeans at Aritzia– they’re always a tough find, and they’re the best brand in terms of fit.
Bottom line: once you get past the «pretentiousness» of the store, and you are willing to fork over some serious cash, you can score some great quality clothing (and bags!)
