The store is closing. Apparently the cost of opening the ultra-luxurious store on Ste. Catherines and the cost of the failure of the Bayshore location bankrupted the company and it was bought out by Fairweather, which turned it into a kind of mega-fairweather and ran it into the ground. The final clearance is on now and it was kind of like being in an enormous Stitches/Sirens. It was hands down the most depressing retail experience of my life. End of an era I guess...

The epitome of brand dilution. I foresee a Montreal shopping mall crisis in the near future.
