*Update: Dolce & Gabbana’s Toronto store opened July 27 2013*

*UPDATE: Flare Magazine has reported this store will be 835 square metres, or almost 9,000 square feet. We’ll update readers when more information becomes available*

Dolce & Gabbana will open it first free-standing Canadian store at 111 Bloor Street West. The building is 6945 square feet, and the store will occupy most of the space over two floors. Dolce & Gabbana confirms the store will include a full range of men’s and women’s fashions, accessories and footwear.

Toronto will be the sixth North American city to have a free-standing Dolce & Gabbana store. Dolce & Gabbana has free-standing boutique locations in Bal Harbour Florida, Beverly Hills California, Las Vegas Nevada, New York City and Short Hills, New Jersey.

Dolce & Gabbana currently has a women’s shop-in-store at Holt Renfrew’s Bloor Street flagship location. Our Holt Renfrew insider says that, to the best of their knowledge, the Holt Renfrew Dolce & Gabbana shop-in-store will remain.

The 111 Bloor Street building is a reconfigured heritage building that previously housed a Louis Vuitton boutique (which recently moved to 150 Bloor W) and before that, a multi-brand mens/women’s retailer called Giorgio Couture.

  1. I assume that the Italian footwear/accessories design house and French fashion house are going to take over the current Gap Kids and Tiffany spots once they move out? Those are the only two storefronts that are available.
