Canada's First Burberry Boutique

Here in Winnipeg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

............................................................................................err.

Well, in Vancouver, at least. Which is home to a lot of former Winnipeggers! Sigh. M, this means your snow boots are but a 3 hour flight away. Plus we could stay for free! Bonus!

Located in the Living Shanghri-La hotel (which will be Vancouver's tallest tower when it opens in January 2009), the Burberry store is 3179 sq ft and already open on the main level! It features a new design concept by creative director Christopher Bailey.

From what I've heard...the floors are a combination of dark wood and stone, and the surfaces made of black chrome - and there is an ENTIRE room for shoes. Ahhhh....

Burberry at Living Shanghri La is located at 1101 Alberni St at Thurlow - please note, for those not familiar with Vancouver, this is where the expensive shops are. Neighbours include Betsey Johnson, Blubird (which sells Marc by Marc Jacobs, Pucci, M by Missoni, etc), and Agent Provocateur. Nearby are Louis Vuitton, Coach, Ports...you get the idea. For the Veronica Lodge-types only. Or those accustomed to being in debt.
