J.Crew Vancouver: Go inside the Pacific Centre’s new women’s-only location
See inside the new J.Crew Pacific Centre location »
No Timberlake suit and tie will get in the way of a woman’s right to cardigans in every colour with the opening of a women’s only J.Crew in Pacific Centre today. The opening makes it the American retailer’s second Vancouver location and seventh in Canada. Bring on the J.Crew! The more than 4,000-square-foot store on the mall’s lower level launches with the brand’s spring/summer collection. Touring the shop with Tom Mora, Head of Women’s Design, he points out the plethora of eye-catching prints—running the gamut from “Hawaiian sunset” to “punk floral”—and delicate details including embroidery and eyelet. The brand’s beloved cashmere pieces, cropped pants, costume jewellery, pencil skirts, schoolboy blazers and Italian leather shoes and bags are here too. We were chuffed to also find the Sperry Top-Sider for J.Crew boat shoe collaboration.
The store offers their complimentary “Very Personal Stylist” service, one-on-one appointments to provide customers with style guidance. But if you’re asking Mora what five key pieces will take you through summer stylishly, it’s simple: something eyelet, one of their washed shirts (preference for chambray or print), pair of shorts, statement necklace and a linen or cashmere sweater.
