Everyday Luxury had to begin somewhere.
Once upon a time, the Hill family started a special something
called “Aritzia” inside their 70-year-old department store in Vancouver, Canada.
Then, in 1984, Brian Hill opened the very first standalone Aritzia boutique in Oakridge Centre — an upscale shopping mall in his hometown.

The idea was simple:
offer beautiful clothes in aspirational spaces with exceptional service.
