It’s that time of year again, with another Aritzia warehouse sale spawning massive sprawling lineups at the Vancouver Convention Centre in what has become a fashion tradition in the city.
We shared last year that folks were lining up the night before to gain access to the sale.
That was no different this year, as we’ve had some firsthand reports that people were lining up as early as 10 p.m. on Sunday. This morning, the lineups were as big as we’ve ever seen them.
Also returning for its fifth year is the Aritzia Warehouse Sale Community Shop, which is a special initiative that supports women and girls through Aritzia’s “giving efforts.”
As part of this year’s Vancouver warehouse sale, Aritzia said that new styles would be arriving daily.
Some lucky folks have friends and family wristbands, allowing them to skip the line entirely.
However, some of those lucky folks are trying to cash in on their luck and are attempting to sell those wristbands online.
The going rate is around $50 per wristband.

Others are selling them for more. We found one listing where a Facebook user was trying to sell them for $100 each, before dropping the price down to $80. In a separate listing, someone was attempting to sell two wristbands for $100 each.
Someone else had seemingly just listed their spot in the lineup for $150.

If you’re interested in braving the lines, between Sept. 1 and Sept. 5, the sale is running from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., and on Sept. 6 and Sept. 7, the sale will be on from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
As was the case in previous years, the sale takes place at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, at 1055 Canada Pl.
Aritzia, which was founded in Vancouver back in 1984, has been seeing a major boost in its popularity and business health. It was recently named among the B.C. companies with the best company culture by Forbes.
