Best Shopping in Vancouver

By Chris Boyle

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

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.

HARRY ROSEN

With two locations in the city, Harry Rosen is Vancouver’s elite destination for men’s fashion.

The Oakridge store boasts the very latest products by Giorgio Armani, Hugo Boss, Burberry, D&G, Fred Perry and more. At the Pacific Centre store you’ll find, among others, A.Testoni, Andrew Marc, Arnold Zimberg, Bugatti, Brunello Cucinelli, Ralph Lauren and Versace.

ONE OF A FEW

 

Stand out from the crowd at One of a Few, which is located on a cobbled road in historic Gastown.

Here you’ll find one-of-a-kind stylish clothing and accessories that defy the mass market. Clients include Zac Efron, Jessica Alba, Darryl Hannah and Rosario Dawson. Some of the limited edition clothing is made from natural fabrics and includes goodies such as balloon button-up dresses and Collina Strada leather purses.

BEAUTYMARK

 

Here you’ll find ultra-hip beauty products, makeup and top-of-the-line niche products not readily available in other stores.

BeautyMark is the go-to boutique for “gotta have it” skincare aficionados. Vancouver is known as “Hollywood North” and as BeautyMark is located in trendy Yaletown celebs such as Jessica Alba, Goldie Hawn, Anna Paquin and the Dixie Chicks like to stop by when they’re in town. Expect to find a topnotch team of trained makeup artists on hand for assistance and advice.
