Aritzia

I dragged my sweetie in here on a weekend in Whistler. I thought I’d just check for one warm sweater, but I ended up walking out an hour later with 8 pieces. The gal who helped me was helpful, hustling back and forth with different sizes, and lots of ideas. My only complaint is that the dressing room and mirror area was too cramped, and cardboard boxes and a metal rack were stacked up where customers could have been stepping in and out of the mirror area. Not a huge deal, but bit claustrophic. This is definitely my new favorite store, and I am 48! There are tasteful, body hugging sexy stuff as well as looser flowy items. Wonderful.

Really love this place! Great mix of basics and statement pieces. Nordstrom level service; in comparison its like a broader layout of Nordstrom’s savvy and tbd departments. I only wish they had some made in America product and curtains that enclose the dressing rooms better. There is such a timeless feel to most styles in the store that it justifies the cost and I have better luck finding designer jeans like COH and Current Elliot here than anywhere else. Even the bags are pieces of art; they’re so gratifying to carry around and see piled up :))))

Guilty. I come into this store twice a month. My roommate is never surprised to see new shopping bags from Aritzia. What can I say? The clothes are comfortable and make me feel pretty. Plus the employees are incredibly nice. They’re like extra girlfriends that give you a huge boost of confidence, «that dress makes your figure look great», «I love that jacket on you», «you have a rocking body», etc. Every time I leave the store my wallet is a little lighter but I feel a whole lot better about myself.

I love Aritzia! The store associates are really nice, and always have great ideas about how to wear everything, and different ways to mix and match things. It is a bit overpriced, which is why I knocked down a star.
For those that can’t find anything here I would say just pick something up (even if you wouldn’t normally wear it) and try something new here! I have to go up a size on a lot of the clothes here. The fitting rooms don’t have mirrors, you have to walk out to the big mirror, but that way you can get some advice from the cool store ladies. They also have a photobooth in the middle of the store. its pretty rad.
I’ve only purchased a couple of things here, but everytime I make it over to Washington square I try to stop in here and try one of the new styles!

I was on vacation from California and the bf wanted to check this mall for a store that sold pendleton goods. as we pulled into the parking lot i remembered that somewhere in portland there was an aritzia and to my surprise, just as i was thinking that i saw the employee entrance on the outside of the mall with the signage «Aritzia»! I was immediately excited.
first of all, this is my favorite store (i would own the store if i could) so you could imagine how excited i was. second, we were in oregon, so no sales tax!!! when entering the store i saw a bunch of signs that implied sale (and then i remembered receiving an email that their sale was still going on). i started browsing through the sale and realized that i was ¼ of the way through the store and STILL looking through sale… the sales girl asked (btw, sales girls here are just as helpful as any of the other locations i’ve been to) if i wanted a room so i gave her the items i was holding and said «you guys have a lot of sale stuff». she replied «yea, we get shipped all the other sale items from all the other stores». after she said that i was in a bit of a frenzy for about a minute or two. ALL the other stores send their sale here!!! i continued to look through the racks… mind you, the sale went from the front to the back of the store which is not normal at the SF store. i saw so many items that i had purchased already for 50% or 70% off AND in my size. i guess it makes sense due to demographics, the customer, and location that this store would house/​keep more sale than the sf location.
needless to say, i walked out with great stuff as always.

What I like about Aritzia is they carry good quality clothing brands. They are targeting young women but because they have simple styles, I see 40’s 50’s customers shopping at this store which is nice. I said «simple» but they are not only just simple but little bit edgy. Other good thing is Aritzia is Canadian company which means they know cold weather fashion! So, I like to check the store in fall and winter rather than spring and summer.
I didn’t give 5 stars because I don’t like sale people come to check me every minutes. I can even feel from them like «I need to sell, I need to sell.» I don’t like their fitting room, too. Like other reviewer said, the room is so small and no mirror, so you have to come out to use a big mirror with other people. That’s not cool.

I’ve looked at Aritzia’s website for ages and was excited to be in a town where there was a store (the NYC one is opening this month) and no sales tax. Well, I was really surprised at the store. It did not reflect the aesthetics of the website at all. If there wasn’t a store sign, I could’ve mistaken the store for an upscale Wet Seal. The ladies were nice, but I walked in and out a few minutes later because nothing caught my eye.

I showed up pretty late in the evening but the sales girls were still friendly and very helpful. I liked how they were attentive but didn’t hover over their clients, and let us shop. The stores open and sophisticated atmosphere made for a great shopping experience. The clothes are a bit pricey but they fit great and are worth the money!

My family and I took a day trip to Portland. Why? Why drive 3 hours to go shopping? Apparently it’s worth not paying for sales tax. So when we got to the mall (I wasn’t really into shopping on Black Friday), I was a bit on the tired side. While we were waiting for my niece to get changed and fed, I saw this store. I said… why not? I saw their clothes and thought, yes, my style. The first thing I noticed is that they’re not over staffed, but the staff know what they’re talking about. They wear those clothes, they know the quality and they help you in any way. They ask for you name and give you suggestions.
They were having a huge sale. I was contemplating on getting a grey bomber jacket. It was on sale for $ 70. They also had leggings for $ 20 which were very high quality.
One thing I didn’t like was that there wasn’t a mirror in your changing room, and you had to go outside to use the large communal mirror. I was trying on leggings… I was a little self conscious. But as I was trying things on, there were others outside and the staff helped with styling what they were trying on.
I ended up getting the jacket and the leggings since I had such a great experience shopping there. See be nice to me and make my shopping experience worth it and I will buy something! I am glad there’s one in San Francisco. I’m really glad I came to Portland.

I’ve been searching for a peacoat for years, never finding the right style for me; alas, ARITZIA came to the rescue! Then I remembered, this store sounds familiar… I was there, years ago in Canada.
It’s awesome it’s here in Oregon with NO TAX. Their clothing is rather spendy, obviously. But they have the option of layaway… Layaway isn’t just that poor person k-​mart choice, it’s a good option if you want to invest in something that you can’t afford at the moment. For example, my peacoat; love it. My winter coat; love it more. My leather jacket; burnt a hole in my pocket, but totally in love with it.
I feel content with everything I’ve purchased, maybe once my credit cards are paid off… I’ll look again. Until then, I’ll pretend I’m super awesome wearing these spendy threads that will stay classy.
BTW, you could be lucky enough to find a previous season’s item available at half+ off the cost of what the new season item! They look exactly the same! My winter coat was $ 160ish, but found it was the previous seasons and paid about $ 50… I was stoked.
Their employees are kind and energetic; they kinda remember who you are — since I don’t think many people shop-​shop there. I think maybe 5 employees? I see the same ones each time I’m there. Ah well, friendly people = good business.
