OUR STORY

I
n the beginning the
Hill family started
Aritzia inside their
70-year-old department
store in Vancouver, B.C.
When Brian Hill opened
the first stand-alone bo-
utique in 1984. The idea
was simple: create fresh,
garments in aspirational
spaces with the best ser-
vice possible. Our custo-
mers seemed to like it so
we grew and we’ve kept
on growing ever since.
