We spoke with two of Canada’s most successful brands, La Vie en Rose and Rudsak, along with the retail advisory experts at Richter, to learn how they are managing success in today’s climate.
Rudsak marks 30 years with a focus on e-commerce, global growth, and a new boutique at Royalmount showcasing its elevated design and iconic leather roots.
The Canadian brand is seeing rapid growth according to two executives, with plans for more stores in key markets including more for Western Canada. A one-of-a-kind flagship will also open at Royalmount next summer.
The popular Montreal-based outerwear brand is giving its Canadian stores a new look while adding entertainment, and is also growing a global presence including its first location on Long Island.
Founder Evik Asatoorian says the company will reduce its store count as it shifts online, including a partnership with Uber for deliveries in less than an hour.
