Vancouver-based high-end outerwear and accessories retailer Snowflake has re-opened its flagship store in Vancouver’s burgeoning ‘luxury zone’. We spoke with Miel Bernstein, daughter of Snowflake’s founder Rokie Bernstein, about the new store as well as the history of the retailer.
The new 1,200 square foot Snowflake boutique is located at 1135 West Georgia Street, next to Italian luxury retailer Stefano Ricci (which will open in early 2017) as well as Vancouver’s new Trump Tower (hotel and residences). Other luxury brands on nearby Thurlow and Alberni Streets include Prada, Rolex, Burberry, Versace, Strellson, Brunello Cucinelli, Saint Laurent, Moncler and others.
Martin Moriarty of CBRE’s Vancouver Urban Retail Team negotiated the lease deal on behalf of the landlord.
