The Aritzia Warehouse Sale is on in Vancouver now through Sept. 1.
The Vancouver-headquartered fashion company offers clothing such as winter coats, dresses, denim and more — along with accessories — marked 50 to 90 per cent off the retail price during the warehouse sale event.
After attending the sale during the Friends & Family day on Aug. 25, I came away from the sale with a pretty good haul of goodies.
Aritzia’s popular Super Puff jackets were available in a rainbow of colours and lengths. Most jackets I spotted were small sizes, including 2XS and XS, but there were some Large sizes sprinkled into the mix. The Super Puff jackets were marked down from $375 to $174.99.
Cosy knit sweaters from Sunday Best were a popular pick of the sale, positioned on big tables around the blaring DJ booth. They were marked down from $118 to $49.99. Another buzzing area of the sale was dedicated to all things denim. Jeans from Aritzia’s in-house Denim Forum brand were discounted from $158 to $49.99. They also had so many nice wool coats and cashmere sweaters.
I went into the sale with a budget. In my experience, if you don’t, you’re likely to go WAY overboard on your spending.
With a set budget of $250, here’s what I scored at this year’s Aritzia Warehouse Sale:
• Denim Forum Farrah Hi-Rise Wide Jean — Regular $128 | Warehouse Sale $49.99
• Legendary Solid Brass Leather Belt — Regular $78 | Warehouse Sale $19.99
• Golden Nourish Sweater — Regular $198 | Warehouse Sale $49.99
• Babaton Agency Vest — Regular $198 | Warehouse Sale $99.99
Total cost at regular retail prices: $646 before taxes
Total cost at warehouse sale prices: $274.33
The total retail price on my sale finds would have been $646 before taxes. I spent $274.33 — which amounts to a total savings off retail of $371.67.
Safe to say, the deals are real at the Aritzia Warehouse Sale. And, if you’re in the market for new items for fall and back to school, it’s worth braving the lineups to see it for yourself.
