Just a day ago, I stopped by to wait patiently in three hours of a bubbling lineup for the Aritzia Warehouse Sale in Gastown. The fashion boutique’s selection of merchandise was less interesting than past-years, no doubt to the convenient location in the downtown core & (as I overheard a security guard remark to one another) with over 1200+ shoppers arriving before noon.
Aritzia is a women’s fashion boutique that offers beautifully designed clothes that are on trend, high quality, and good value. Born in Vancouver, Canada, in 1984, we have boutiques in select markets across the US and Canada, including New York, Vancouver, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Portland, and Seattle.
Key trends are edited and a curated collection of women’s brands, many of which are exclusive to us, evolve each season. Our staff offer personalized customer service, and our appreciation for design carries through to our boutiques, which are comfortable, unique, and cater to a customer that is feminine, youthful, cultured, social, and interesting.

We received a jaunty little black coin purse from the company, and peach mango drinks for little less than a nickel. Once inside, however, most of the fashions still available consisted of colorful striped cardigans, tees and muscle shirts for the summer-casual crowd, a large selection of jeans, dwindling boxes of wintery accessories, Olympic swag, and other necessities such as iphone cases, handbags, socks and scarves.
The winter coats were of a peacoat and 80% wool-quality, marked down from a price range of $390 to $150. Sadly, the medium-sized coats were shorter in length and wrists for a 5″5 height so I opted instead for a LG.
Sale Rating: Mediocre ;(
