VAN: Shop Spotlight – Atelier3 Opens And Refines Style And Service

We always appreciate individual style and like to think we’ve got a relatively keen eye for fashion. We also know how important it is to look our best on and off the clock… because you just never know who you’ll meet in our big-little city of Vancouver. So when we had the opportunity to pop down and check out the opening of Atelier3 in Yaletown, we discovered a store that is just as serious about style as it is about exceptional service.

You’ll find the boutique located at 110-1228 Homer Street, in the heart of Yaletown. Its design invokes a decidedly gallery-like aesthetic throughout. We noted clean lines that draw your attention along racks towards the back, as well as industrial fixtures and custom, hand-crafted, silk floral installations displayed behind glass which run the length of the store’s 800-square-feet of retail space.

Let’s just say, this is one classy spot to shop.

Atelier3 boasts a fine lineup of contemporary women’s wear from emerging designers alongside established brands – with items carefully chosen to ensure unique style and individuality is observed.

How does Atelier3 work their fashion magic? They buy pieces from designers who meld fashion with individual taste, allowing Atelier3 to provide clients with a carefully edited selection of high-quality pieces that go beyond everyday trends.

The boutique specializes in curated personalized style, focusing on pieces that are elegant yet comfortable, and keeping a limited stock of sizes and selection of one-off designs in order to keep it exclusive.

Look for the likes of some of the following labels at Atelier3…

– Jill Stuart Contemporary Collection (exclusive for Vancouver)
– Elle Sasson (exclusive for Canada)
– Chloe Stora for My Pants
– Cut25 by Yigal Azrouël (exclusive for Vancouver)
– Armando Takeda (exclusive for Canada)
– Preen Line (exclusive for Vancouver)
– Thakoon
– Pam & Gela

Coupled with the contemporary boutique’s airy feel and fine collection of clothing, perhaps one of the most standout aspects is the level of customized service Atelier3 offers clients. Start with personalized shopping that includes style development and a dedicated staff who work hard to help customers edit their existing wardrobe, plan outfits for important functions and events, and offer up style savvy advice without leaving you feeling overwhelmed.

Atelier3 also offers private shopping events to clients upon request – something we’ve definitely not seen often in Vancouver – and these also extend to fashion shows, trunk shows, and designer in-person events to sweeten the deal (and loosen your wallet).

After you’ve worked up an appetite for fashion, stay refreshed and enjoy lunch service (with booked appointments) and fresh-pressed Nama juices to keep your shopping spirit alive.
