Ports 1961 marks the closure of its Bloor Street store with a blow-out sale

Sadly, Ports 1961, the upscale ready-to-wear label owned by Toronto-founded fashion powerhouse Ports International, is shutting its Bloor Street womenswear store at the end of January. President Randy Federgreen told the Toronto Star that the company is now primarily focused on distributing to high-end departments stores like The Room at The Bay and specialty stores like Harry Rosen (though the majority of Ports 1961’s nearly two dozen global boutiques, including the Montreal location, are staying open). He added that the narrow shopfront on the Mink Mile was too small to accomodate the eight-year-old brand’s menswear collection—less of a problem for footwear label Stuart Weitzman, which is reportedly taking over the space. Shoppers who stop by to say goodbye will be rewarded: all pre-fall and fall stock is 70 per cent off, and the vintage collection is 85 per cent off. [Toronto Star]
