Montreal’s newest (mega) shopping mall, Royalmount, officially opened its doors to the public on September 5th, 2024. The long-awaited shopping, dining, and entertainment destination is finally open after years of anticipation!
Although not all of its occupants are ready to be shopped, nearly half (over 50) of its retail stores are now open for business. Some of the coveted retailers customers can shop at include Sephora, Alo Yoga, Jimmy Choo, and more.
This is just the beginning for Royalmount, with 170 stores, including 60 restaurants and cafes, set to launch during the mall’s first phase.
The new space aims to serve as an inclusive luxury and unique shopping experience, as well as a hub for “human connectivity” with the help of its dining offerings and community spaces (such as its immersive public art trail).
“…The vision for ROYALMOUNT has always been to foster human connections, create a center of community, and usher in a new era of inclusive luxury for the city. Over the coming weeks, we will welcome new brands, restaurants and concepts, making ROYALMOUNT one of the most exciting places to visit in Montreal for all generations,” says Andrew Lutfy, CEO of Carbonleo and lead ROYALMOUNT investor.
The 824,000-square-foot shopping complex will be home to the highest concentration of international luxury flagship stores in the province, with many standalone luxury boutiques coming to Quebec for the first time, including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Versace, Saint Laurent, Jimmy Choo, Longchamp, RH, and Moncler.
Aside from luxury, the mall also caters to a wider audience with stores such as Mango, Zara, Dynamite, and so many more available to shop. Speaking of – Dynamite just opened its largest flagship ever within the Royalmount quarters.

Harry Rosen, the luxury menswear retailer, is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a limited-edition capsule collection!
The brand, which began as a small store in East Toronto’s Cabbagetown in 1954, has grown over the past seven decades to become a trusted menswear fashion destination, providing its customers with unparalleled service and craftsmanship in the form of clothing and accessories.
“My father’s philosophy was to carry menswear that dresses leaders, visionaries, and creatives who drive our communities–this vision still informs Harry Rosen today.” States Larry Rosen, CEO of Harry Rosen.
In collaboration with Emporio Armani, Patrick Assaraf, Eton, HAROLD, Polo Ralph Lauren, Santoni, Tatossien, and Varsity, the new capsule collection aims to showcase how fashion moments in history weave their way into modern style, incorporating elements Harry Rosen has become known for.
In addition to remaining strong in its heritage over the past 70 years, Harry Rosen continues to evolve, catering to an even wider audience. This year, the brand added many new designer brands to its roster, including Kenzo, Jil Sander, MM6, Maison Margiela, and more, to cater to a younger, fashion-forward audience.

Although shopping from designer brands is far from a necessity, we can’t deny the appeal. Whether it be for the exceptional craftsmanship, the design itself, or even for the logo – buying a designer item, say from somewhere like Prada, feels extra exciting and special (if you’re into that sort of thing). That being said, it’s no secret how expensive luxury shopping is -especially lately! Designer prices continue to be on the rise, going up every year without fail. But if you still simply can’t resist getting a taste of something luxury, we get it.
Prada is one of the top designer brands in the game. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t recognize that little Prada triangle! If you’re looking to break into the world of designer labels or invest in something new, Prada is a reputable brand that will continue to hold its value (at a price). With a budget of $500, you may not be able to buy a brand-new Prada bag, but you do still have some options that will scratch the itch!
All of these Prada items are under $500!

The luxe high-performance apparel and equipment brand Arc’teryx has just been added to the already impressive luxury roster of Bloor Street West in Toronto with its new ‘Alpha’ store concept. Marking its largest location in Canada thus far!
Arc’teryx announced the grand opening of its first-ever Alpha store format last week, marking a significant milestone for the brand. The new format redefines standards in product care and repair while reinforcing the brand’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
The new location will stock the widest selection of Arc’teryx apparel and equipment of any store globally, from footwear and climbing gear to trail running, snow sport, and accessories.
This new Alpha store format is the first of many to come, starting in late summer 2024. Reflecting the brand’s commitment to providing hubs for community connection, engagement, and shared mountain experiences.
“We’re proud to introduce our first Alpha Store at home in Canada,” shared Delaney Schweitzer, Chief Commercial Officer at Arc’teryx. “Named for our innovative hardshell jacket that started it all, this store represents a commitment to durability, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that the Alpha SV jacket has come to symbolize. Bloor Street will showcase our largest product assortment and unparalleled product care services through the ReBIRD™ Service Centre. This store will provide the opportunity to connect with guests in person, supporting their mountain pursuits with high-performance, beautiful, and highly functional products alongside exceptional product knowledge and a deep love for the outdoors.”
Located at 50 Bloor Street West, Arc’teryx will house the brand’s largest ReBIRDTM Service Centre, offering an expanded array of repair services facilitated by two full-time technicians on-site. Allowing customers to professionally repair anything from zippers to full panel replacements.
In addition to the vast selection of Arc’teryx products and ReBIRD™ services, the new store location will also be a hub for learning, local events, and outdoor education.
“As we embark on this new chapter in Arc’teryx’s retail journey with the launch of our new Alpha store format, we are dedicated to investing in the Toronto community and creating a hub for immersive storytelling and engagement,” said Megan Cheesbrough, VP of North America Retail at Arc’teryx.

“Shoppers can expect a curated selection of high-quality designer fashion pieces at attainable price points. You can find contemporary brands like dresses from $125 to handbags for $35,000 and everything in between,” Mine & Yours founder Courtney Watkins shared with Daily Hive.

Luxury brand Saint Laurent will open a flagship location next year on Bloor Street West in Toronto, Retail Insider reports.
It will be one of the largest Saint Laurent stores in the world, and the largest in Canada, by far, measuring 10,400 square feet. It will occupy the location that was once home to J. Crew and Brooks Brothers.
This location will be the brand’s third location in Toronto, and the new location’s design is said to be unlike other Saint Laurent locations in Canada.
Saint Laurent’s opening of a flagship location on 110 Bloor Street West aligns with the other luxury clientele Bloor West is currently home to. Continuing to make it a prime location for luxury shoppers.
“The opening of Saint Laurent solidifies Bloor as Canada’s luxury retail street, joining other significant brands that already have stores nearby as well as new luxury retail brands that will be opening next year,” Markowitz said to Retail Insider.
The Kering-owned brand Saint Laurent will have neighbours including Alexander Wang and Anne Fontaine within the 110 Bloor Street West retail space – also opening next year. As well as Othership, opening on the concourse level below Saint Laurent. Across the street, there will be a Salvatore Ferragamo concept store, which will be the first in the world.
Next year is looking to be big for luxury on Bloor West!
