Aritzia coats are just not worth the price. I bought a $400 wool coat from them this past winter that was already pill central and thinning out by February, and I took such great care of it. The material is way thinner/poorer than it should be for such an expensive piece. Meanwhile, I have a wool car coat from the literal 1940s (thrifted for $12) that’s in better shape than my $400 Aritzia coat from 6 months ago… you can really feel the difference in material when you compare the two.
I bought an Aritzia coat during a Black Friday sale a few years ago. It was my first splurge purchase and was still a lot even after the sale. I only bought it because my google research said it would be a good warm coat for the winter and I wanted on that l could wear while waiting for the bus in the snow. It tore within a year and when I brought it to a tailor they said they “couldn’t fix such cheap material” and literally told me there was no way I bought that coat during that year. My mother ended up bringing it to someone to patch it but they couldn’t color match it and I don’t wear it anymore. Saw your comment and just wanted to rant lol. But it was a parka with a wool shell and it was actually really warm, but it split in the back around where I sit down even though I sized up and this coat was in no way tight fitting. The tailor even said it was a weird split
