Last week, Reformation—the L.A.-based sustainable fashion brand with a celebrity fan club that includes Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber and Irina Shayk—opened the doors to its first ever international location. Since they set up shop in Yorkdale, they’ve had lineups nearly every day—mainly from longtime online shoppers who are stoked the store has finally arrived in Canada.

Inside, the clothes are arranged by colour scheme. This location also carries their petite and extended sizes:

Accessories like strappy kitten heels and straw beach totes are also on display:
