Prada-owned Miu Miu will open its second Canadian location within Yorkdale Shopping Centre’s Holt Renfrew. Canada’s first Miu Miu store opened in January at Holt Renfrew’s Bloor Street flagship in Toronto. No word yet on the Yorkdale Miu Miu stores’s size, though we’re told the Bloor location is about 450 square feet.
As with the Downtown Toronto Miu Miu, Yorkdale’s Miu Miu will carry only accessories and handbags, and no women’s clothing.
There are currently 15 leased Miu Miu boutiques in the United States. Nine are free-standing shops that carry women’s ready-to-wear. The other six are accessory shops like those in Canada, and five of those are within Saks Fifth Avenue stores while one is within Manhattan’s flagship Bloomindale’s store. No word yet if Saks Fifth Avenue will attempt to secure Miu Miu leases when it opens in Canada.
Thank you to source ACT7 of Urban Toronto for notifying us of this story.
We’ll update you on any further Miu Miu store openings in Canada, as it’s speculated that a Vancouver location could be next in the works.
