Nordstrom has provided us the list of brands it will carry at its first Canadian location, opening September 19th at Calgary’s Chinook Centre. Prices vary widely, from costly luxury designers to the affordable. Some brands will be only available at Nordstrom in Canada, including the retailer’s popular private-label collections that we’ll also discuss below.Â

We’ll also briefly discuss which brands will be the priciest in each category, since we tend to focus on luxury goods.
