La Canadienne opens first store in Vancouver
Footwear and outerwear brand La Canadienne has landed in Western Canada with the opening of its first store in Vancouver.
Located at 779 Burrard, between highstreet Robson Street and luxury row Alberni Street, the 2200-square-foot store introduces a new concept for the brand, that highlights unique brand features with their product at the forefront.
The opening debuts La Canadienne’s spring/summer 2023 Collection with a focus on the brand’s City Dry footwear collection. In store, customers will find a demonstration area to highlight City Dry technology – a unique process that repels water from the surface – along with a lounge to comfortably accommodate customers.
The opening marks the Montreal-based company’s fourth store in Canada. Born in 1987, it currently operates two locations in Montreal’s downtown core and in Outremont. Most recently, in August 2021, it made its first retail step outside of Quebec with a store opening at Toronto Yorkville. La Canadienne is also distributed and sold throughout North America.
“The success of the Toronto store has motivated the brand to establish a retail presence in other key Canadian cities. With the expansion into Vancouver, La Canadienne is thrilled to begin to connect with the local consumers in this new retail location,” the company said in a news statement.
Looking ahead, La Canadienne is planning a grand opening event in store, in October, 2023 to kick off its Fall/Winter season.
