What to know as Aritzia warehouse sale set to return

Vancouver’s most anticipated shopping event, the Aritzia Warehouse Sale, is making a comeback from August 26 to September 1, 2025, at the Vancouver Convention Centre West.

Known for offering massive discounts and drawing huge crowds, the annual event promises deals of 50% to 90% off on a wide range of fashion items, including winter coats, dresses, denim, and accessories.

Although the public sale runs for seven days, there will be an exclusive Friends & Family Day on August 25 for invited guests.

While many shoppers believe this early access offers the best finds, Aritzia assures that new stock will arrive daily, giving bargain hunters plenty of opportunities throughout the week.

Opening hours for the public sale:

Tue, Aug. 26 – Sat, Aug. 30: 7 am to 9 pm.

Sun, Aug. 31 – Mon, Sept. 1: 9 am to 7 pm.

Shoppers should prepare for long wait times, as lineups in previous years have been extensive with some camping overnight to be first through the doors.

To speed up entry, only small bags are allowed inside, with larger ones to be checked at the entrance.

The sale features community change rooms, so privacy is minimal.

Attendees are advised to wear easy-to-remove layers and undergarments they are comfortable in. Payments can be made via cash, debit, credit, or Apple Pay, but Aritzia gift cards will not be accepted.

This year’s sale will feature heavily discounted bestsellers such as the Butter Arc Bra Top Golden (regular $50, now $14.99), Lottie Sweater from Sunday Best (regular $118, now $49.99), and Babaton Spectre Dress (regular $128, now $39.99).

With unbeatable prices and an energetic shopping atmosphere, the 2025 Aritzia Warehouse Sale is once again expected to be a highlight of the summer retail calendar.
