VANCOUVER, BC, June 8, 2026 /CNW/ - Max Mara and Weekend Max Mara announce the opening of two new boutiques at Oakridge Park in Vancouver, marking a return to one of the city's most iconic retail destinations. After decades at the original Oakridge Centre, the brands return as part of Oakridge Park's transformation, ushering in a new chapter for luxury retail in Vancouver.

Operated by Vestis Fashion Group, the Western Canadian partner of Max Mara, the boutiques feature assortments and services tailored to the Vancouver market, including:

• Exclusive collections
• Personalized services from complimentary private styling to custom tailoring
• Exclusive offers and in-store experiences

The Oakridge Park boutiques offer collections unavailable elsewhere in Canada and North America. The Max Mara boutique will be the exclusive Canadian home of Atelier, the house's pinnacle outerwear collection showcasing handmade Italian craftsmanship, exceptional fabrics, and timeless luxury. The Weekend Max Mara boutique will be the exclusive North American home of Inserimento, a highly sought-after collection defined by rich textures, modern femininity, and relaxed sophistication. Together, these offerings make Oakridge Park the only destination in North America to discover both collections.
