History

Established in 2012.

#THEClosetYVR originally began as an online reseller known as Kitsilano Kitty’s Closet. After three years owners Helen Siwak & Vladimiros Xanthopoulos made the decision to transition to a physical boutique and chose the historic Gastown as the location. The boutique is large, spacious, with wall mirrors and a relaxed atmosphere.

Helen is a contributor in the luxury retail niche for VancityBuzz, Retail-​Insider and other fashion/​lifestyle magazines. With a passion for the ‘story of the piece’ shopping at THECloset YVR is an experience in luxury, quality and history.

With a collection of current to vintage luxury design, their inventory includes Jeremy Scott, Etro, Moschino, Missoni, Gucci, Dior, Burberry, DSquared2, John Varvatos, DVF, Ted Baker, Escada and classic pieces by Mary Quant, Givenchy, Brooks Brothers, Versace, Ungaro, Courreges, Thierry Mugler, Issey Miyake, and so many more.
