Kith has officially expanded its Canadian footprint with the grand opening of Kith Vancouver, marking the brand’s second flagship in the country. Located inside the North Arcade of Oakridge Park on West 41st Avenue, the expansive retail destination brings together the brand's full lifestyle universe alongside a dedicated Kith Treats space.
Conceived by Kith CEO, Founder, and Creative Director Ronnie Fieg alongside frequent collaborator Ben Porto of Porto Architecture, the flagship’s design draws heavily from Vancouver’s surrounding coastal environment. The architectural layout balances natural light and organic materials, integrating walnut millwork, Calacatta Vagli marble, and Belvedere stone throughout the interior.
The main entrance opens into the men’s apparel department, framed by custom walnut walls, brass accents, and Kith Crest-embossed velvet panels, leading through Belvedere stone thresholds to a dedicated men's footwear salon with polished Venetian plaster. In the women’s section, accessible via a patio entryway, chevron white oak floors meet Rosa Aurora stone tops, Emerald Quartzite accents, and multi-marble shelving displaying footwear, apparel, fine jewelry, and handbags. Kith Kids features cloud-shaped architectural ceiling coves, mint accents, and vibrant display cubbies, while Kith Treats presents an independent entrance accented by Rosa Portugalo counters, Azul Cielo headers, White Carrara stone, and stainless steel fixtures.
To commemorate the store opening, Kith has partnered with Salomon to introduce a footwear capsule featuring the all-new XT-4K Mid, the XT-4 OG, and the XT-VYGR 2.
The collaborative Kith for Salomon collection drops exclusively at Kith Vancouver on Friday, October 23, followed by a global rollout on Monday, October 26.
