HAVEN Vancouver Grand Opening (New Store - Gastown)
 

Just found out this new store will be opening in gastown. They carry some brands that other stores dont have and their grand opening is this saturday (dec. 12th, 2009) I would check it out if i didnt have any finals. They carry brands like w+h, headporter, clot, acronym, ransom, stussy, original fake and undefeated. check out their website http://www.havenshop.ca/Default.aspx

if anyone checks it out, let us know how the selection is.

Looks interesting.. but they have a lot of competition in gastown... alife,stussy,livestock,goodfoot,subdivision just to name a few.

they have undefeated and headporter, so it should set them apart from the ones in gastown, unless you're willing to travel to headquarters on burrard.

i think they sell undefeated at goodfoot.

But they also carry acronym, original fake and head porter.

pretty sure goodfoot sells undefeated

goodfoot is gonna be gone very soon.

^wait, why

Does goodfoot sell visvims anymore?

the store is in fucking blood alley...wtf

yes, i think their the only store in Vancouver that has an account with visvim

Most awesome stores like these are usually secluded in some dark alley, basement, some shady third floor building.

hmm maybe i'll check this place out after my last final on sat...needing some retail therapy :)

im actually sort of excited about this because ive been shopping from their edmonton site for a while now. they sell apc apparel, which i dont think you can get anywhere else in vancouver.

Eugene Choo sells APC clothing. http://www.eugenechoo.com/index.html

Johnathon and Olivia sells it too, im not sure if they closed down already though.

one of the owners told me they will carry supremes... not sure if its true

its the only street brand im interested in anymore

^if they bring it here they'll charge like double.
i wouldnt pay $70 for a supreme tshirt...

Arthur is a good guy. Glad to see Vancouver will have an Acronym outlet, always been curious about their stuff.

anyone check the place out? how is it?

Checked it out today, cool store. It was kinda hard to find at first since theres no sign for the store lol. They don't have a huge selection now, but you can still probably find some stuff.

They said the store is going to be more Japanese based as opposed to their other store, so no w+h. In 2010 f/w they'll be carrying Neighborhood and Wtaps.

looks like they got some pretty dope shit

I was there at the opening. Very friendly staff, Arthur's a really down-to-earth owner as is the case with most boutique shop owners. Lots of liquor too.

Most interesting pieces they carry are the Acronym jackets. I think they're the only ones around that carry them, possibly in the whole country. Hell there are even youtube videos on how they can be worn / "used"

the sleeve thing that do to retract the cell phone is cool as hell. i think for the price of their jackets, its pretty worth it.

Did they have any ACR jackets in store when you guys visited ?

yes
