Came in to look at their ties during Black Friday and saw their deal of 3 ties for $139. Really…read moregood deal considering how a single tie is usually $88-108. Some of the colors/design make the ties look cheap but some are really classy looking. Quality of the ties seem pretty good compared to other ties. Though still way too pricey for what it is in my opinion but, I think it's worth looking at during sales like Black Friday/Boxing Day! And if you're not satisfied you can still return or exchange what you bought. Staff are kind, though perhaps a bit too pushy at times. One of them kind just kept standing, watching me, and waiting for me to choose my three ties when I wanted to look at them peacefully without pressure.

Oh Mango, locked away in the international terminal at YVR, so close, but so unattainable for…read moreeveryday shopping. When flying internationally out of YVR do take advantage of Mango's only Vancouver store front located in the International Terminal (US flights are a disappointment as the US terminal doesn't provide access). This Spanish chain has the loveliest and stylish clothes to make any girl feel special and the prices are very reasonable for well made clothing. If you are a fan Penelope Cruz and her sister also designs a line for them. Mango is a great reason to clear security early when travelling abroad for some warm up shopping. A great benefit of the location is for last minute holiday preparation purchases; you know when you are packing and you need the perfect dress to wear for a night out, this store will solve said problems.

Here's the deal with this place…read more Its headquarters are in HK and was spawned out of HK. When I go to HK, this, along with Bossini, are the dominant stores in terms of casual fashions for the younger generation. So the place is not really for me. However, I did manage to find a belt to go with a pair of shoes I was lusting after at Aldo. Belt first, then the shoes, because the belt was harder to find. It was in a shade of darker blue. THAT"S incredibly hard to find for a guy, but I found it here of all places. Shop carefully in here since a lot of the fashion is Asian centred, unless that's the look you're going for.

He told us to go look in the store to find the right size. There were only size L and XL. My hubs looked at the tag on the jacket on the mannequin. M. Guy comes over, we ask to try it on.

cf richmond centre really does have it all, uniqlo, zara, h&m, the apple store, muji, the lego…read morestore, sephora, basically all the staples you actually want in one place and then some. it makes running errands or doing a proper shopping trip super easy, especially if you're the "one stop and done" type. a little context that makes it even more impressive: it's one of the major shopping hubs in richmond and sits right by the canada line's richmond-brighouse station, so getting there by transit is effortless. the mall has been around since the 1980s, but it's now in the middle of a major, multi phase redevelopment that's gradually transforming the whole area into more of a modern, mixed use 'downtown' core with residential towers, expanded retail, and new public space. if it feels like it's evolving, that's because it literally is. inside, instead of a typical boxy layout, the mall follows more of a soft loop. the corridors gently curve and wrap around in an irregular oval shape rather than forming a square or straight line. it feels organic, almost like it grew over time and that flow makes it surprisingly easy to cover ground without feeling like you're walking a marathon. you naturally pass storefront after storefront as the space opens into wider halls and seating areas, so it never feels like a long, narrow hallway. it's bright, open, and comfortable enough to spend a few hours in, whether you're on a mission or just wandering with a coffee. the food court, the dining terrace is solid too. good variety, lots of seating, and generally well maintained. you've got quick bites, plenty of asian eats (as you'd expect in richmond), and the usual comfort options. it's not trying to be a gourmet destination, though there's a few restaurants, and reliable fuel for round two of retail therapy. there have also been some fun activations lately. during an olympic themed event, they set up a mini bobsled experience and even a curling activity where people could try their hand at sliding stones. it gave the space a playful, community energy that made it feel like more than just a place to shop. of course, it hasn't all been additions. the loss of the bay marked the end of an era and left a noticeable gap for longtime shoppers. it was one of those anchor stores that felt tied to the mall's identity, so its closure definitely shifted the atmosphere. the main downside right now is the construction. some entrances are blocked and navigation can take a minute to figure out. the signage helps, but you might accidentally do an extra lap thanks to that curved layout. still, parking is free, as it should be and in metro vancouver, that alone feels like a small win. overall, it's still one of the better malls in the area, and it's clearly in transition. if this is the "during construction" version, the finished product should be pretty exciting.

CF Richmond Centre feels like a teenager who hit a growth spurt too early and never quite figured…read moreout what to do afterwards.  Sure, it's got the Apple Store gleaming aspirational techheads, a handful of designer storefronts trying their best to look worldly, and a food court upstairs that--on paper--should be a damn good reason to linger. It's polished, modern, almost smug in its stainless-steel confidence. And yet... you walk through on what should be a busy day, and the silence hangs around your ankles like fog at dawn.  There's an emptiness here, a kind of mall ennui, as if the place is waiting for someone--anyone--to decide what it's supposed to be when it grows up.  Are you going to be high fashion and chic or will you be another bargain mall? Meanwhile, just across the way, McArthurGlen is sucking up all the oxygen like the loud, flashy cousin who shows up at the family reunion with new teeth, discount luxury, and a better Instagram account.  That's the place people actually go--destination shopping, outlet energy, crowds spilling out of every corridor. CF Richmond? It becomes the afterthought, the "well, we're already in the area so maybe we'll swing by" mall. The mall equivalent of a consolation prize - maybe the pageant winner will retire and CF-R can have a chance to reign like a real mall... Maybe not. And then there's the parking - OMG!  Years of construction, half-blocked entrances, the slow-motion nightmare of circling levels like a frustrated shark just hoping for a space to open up - that isn't blocked off!  A mall can survive a lot, but it can't survive making people miserable before they've even stepped inside. With The Bay packing up and leaving, the mall loses not just a store but an anchor - literally the ballast that keeps a mall from drifting into irrelevance. They need a heavyweight, something bold, something that makes you say, yeah, okay, I'll deal with the traffic for that. And they need it fast. CF Richmond isn't bad. It's just adrift. A mall with good bones, some shiny pieces, but no heartbeat.  A place that could be great but is stuck in the purgatory between intention and execution. If it wants to matter again, it'll need more than a facelift - it needs to grow up and choose what it wants to be.  Right now, it's just waiting for someone to save the mall. 2.5 stars - take it or leave it.  The Apple Store isn't enough for me to trek there! Meh...
