As a stylish modern metropolis with plenty of luxury to offer, Vancouver has more than its fair share of chic designer shopping.
Sexy one-of-a-kind boutiques, swish upscale malls and glittering flagship stores promise the hottest global brands and cutting-edge couture from hip local designers. Read on for more on our favorite Vancouver style spots.
HOLT RENFREW
Think designer apparel, beauty products and haute handbags for women, and made-tomeasure shirts and upscale collections for men.
This is Holt Renfrew, the preferred shopping destination for international VIPs and celebs such as Vanessa Hudgens, Katie Holmes and her four-year-old daughter Suri (who compared lipsticks on her hand). Holt’s beauty services include beauty workshops and facial and body treatments. In addition, a concierge can find you theater tickets and obtain restaurant reservations, and any of the store’s four personal shoppers will put your wardrobe together. A perfect blend of retail and pampering.
