On Thursday night the new concept store from Banana Republic opened its doors to the public at Yorkdale mall. The newly renovated store is the first one of its kind in Canada and it brings in warmth, style and all the goodness we all know and love from Banana Republic.

This is how the new concept was explained at the media preview:

“A wide, central boulevard in lined by shops that draw you inside. These intimate boutiques have an almost residential feel, designed like idealized walk-in closets. Each area addresses the various wardrobe needs of Banana Republic’s Toronto customer: the National Ballet on Friday evening, cocktails at The Thompson on Saturday night and Sunday brunch in the Distillery District.”

I loved walking through the different spaces throughout the store and seeing clear messages, work, play and weekends. My favorite areas of the store were the circular accessories plaza and the Men’s Heritage room, I thought they looked amazing!!!

I love walking through newly opened stores, they are clean, organized, and the displays are super inspiring. It makes me wanna SHOP, and there was so much to buy at the BR store!

At the opening I ended up finding a cute vest for the this season, can’t wait to wear it out and about. Thank you Banana Republic for the vest and my super cool elephant umbrella, it’s perfect!

I will be visiting the new store again to check out more of the Holiday line and of course this year’s Christmas decoration.
