This outlet is very near the airport so you can even drop by here before your flight if you have time to spare. Actually, you can tell you're near the airport since there's so many airplanes flying overhead one after the other. And they're so low pa since they just took off! Anyway, to get here just take the train bound for YVR Airport, and disembark at Templeton station.
McArthurGlen Vancouver is actually the first designer outlet to open in the Vancouver area. I was joking hubby that it looks like an amusement park since the buildings at the entrance kinda look like castles. So for shopaholics like me, this is our type of theme park right? ;p
The place is styled like an open-air village, with tree-lined streets, cobblestone walkways and a luxury piazza. It kinda makes you feel like you're in Europe or something. The weather when we were there was really cool so it felt so good walking around.
Here are just some of the brands you can find here:
It was so funny when I was in J.Crew, almost all the clothes I saw were made in the PHILIPPINES! San ka pa? ;p
Probably one of the more populars stores was Samsonite because of the amazing deals. We saw so many people with new luggages walking around so we had to check it out ourselves.
These were the best sellers since they were really cheap, and there's Buy One, Get One at 50% off pa! Pinapakyaw talaga sila!
Well, I wanted to get the purple Ziplite but hubby wanted something in black so he could use it too. In the end, napabili din kami haha! In na in kami with all the other tourists! Very convenient since we placed all the other stuff we bought inside so easier to go back to our hotel. And buti na lang we bought a new luggage since hindi talaga magkakasya un stuff namin with everything we bought on this trip when I was packing.
So definitely include this in your Vancouver itinerary if you want to get some good deals from designer brands. And even if you don't feel like spending, for sure you'll still enjoy just window shopping. :)
