A new Prada boutique is now open at Yorkdale

Luxury goods conoisseurs can now head to the recently re-vamped Yorkdale to get their hands on Prada’s sleek ready-to-wear apparel, trendy footwear and signature structured handbags. The ultra-chic label joins Chanel, Gucci, Dior and Louis Vuitton in an ever-expanding list of high-end retailers opening shop in what’s steadily becoming the city’s swankest retail destination. The new boutique takes over 3,000 square feet of prime real estate at the front of Holt Renfrew, and prices are predictably steep—it is Prada, after all. Those who cringe at the notion of shelling out a few grand for a classic leather tote may still want to spring for more affordable accessories, like oversized Jackie O shades for $290. Unfortunately for style-savvy gentlemen, the new location only stocks women’ clothing, although menswear is for sale at the label’s flagship store on Bloor Street.
