The cobalt version is making me swoon... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadians-silk-leith-a-likes-at-aritzia#post-930583 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:10:10 +0000 Jules 930583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes thanks for the info, everyone. Now if I do decide to wander in I have an idea what to look at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadians-silk-leith-a-likes-at-aritzia#post-930388 Sat, 11 May 2013 23:25:30 +0000 Nicole D 930388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great review! &nbsp;Makes me want to give them another try. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadians-silk-leith-a-likes-at-aritzia#post-930378 Sat, 11 May 2013 23:04:21 +0000 Ariadne 930378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aritzia has a number of "house" lines, and a couple of them (Talula and&nbsp;Talula Babaton, I think?) are significantly more sophisticated than the others (TNA, etc., which are very young and sporty). &nbsp;They also carry some random high-end&nbsp;things like Rachel Comey boots and Rag &amp; Bone jeans.<br /><br />I used to think I fell *way*&nbsp;outside their target demographic, and avoided it for years, but I went in with my sister this year and was surprised.&nbsp;I've found a couple of amazing items that have been workhorses for me. The salespeople have been exceptional at both locations I've shopped at, too. &nbsp;I was completely expecting snooty young things who wouldn't give me the time of day, but I was wrong! &nbsp;Who knew. &nbsp;Angie's right - leave no retail stone unturned.<br /><br />Sizing-wise, it depends. &nbsp;The dresses I've tried have been TTS, and I had to size down on my drapey blazer. &nbsp;Other items fit at my usual size, but REALLY didn't flatter. &nbsp;Many, but not all,&nbsp;of their things seem cut for the young, tall&nbsp;and curve-less.&nbsp; I typically try on 10-15 items and find one or two that I love, while the others are immediate, laugh-out-loud worthy NOs. These are all in the aforementioned more sophisticated brands. &nbsp;No clue on the sizing in their younger lines as they don't interest me.<br /><br />All that to say that it's worth a try.<br /><br />ETA: Wilfred is one of their nicer lines, too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadians-silk-leith-a-likes-at-aritzia#post-930377 Sat, 11 May 2013 23:02:40 +0000 Nicole D 930377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am not sure if they have their own label...I have found they carry a bunch of brands, pretty good selection of denim. &nbsp;But, yes, their SAs are pretty young and I can't really identify with their style. &nbsp;Overall it is for a younger crowd, but how could they afford it?!&nbsp;<br />I like those pants but they are different from the Leiths in that they appear to be intentionally cropped whereby the Leiths tend to pool at the ankles. &nbsp;THey are cute, worth a try. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadians-silk-leith-a-likes-at-aritzia#post-930365 Sat, 11 May 2013 22:39:24 +0000 lyn* 930365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I find the store to skew casual and young and very slim and expensive. I hardly go in there. The last purchase I made was a hoodie for my sister, which actually wasn't very good quality.<br /><br />I think their sizing is pretty small too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadians-silk-leith-a-likes-at-aritzia#post-930361 Sat, 11 May 2013 22:35:29 +0000 Jules 930361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aritzia is Canadian? I've never even been in the store, something about it had me convinced it was a young &amp; slim store. How do you find their stuff generally? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadians-silk-leith-a-likes-at-aritzia#post-930354 Sat, 11 May 2013 22:28:39 +0000 Ariadne 930354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <a rel="nofollow" href="http://aritzia.com/Wilfred-VAVIN-PANT/47249,default,pd.html">http://aritzia.com/Wilfred-VAV.....lt,pd.html</a><br /><br />I haven't seen them in person, but they look like a luxe dead ringer for the Leith track pants, complete with the zipper detail at the ankle (which is what really makes the Leiths for me).<br /><br />They come in black AND cobalt. &nbsp;The cobalt looks delicious.<br /><br />I hope someone gets a chance to check them out and report back!&nbsp;I be able to in a week or so, but I'm not sure.
