Where to Shop in Vancouver: Crate & Barrel
Vancouver has had an influx of American home brands in the past year. Leading the charge was CB2, quickly followed by West Elm and West Elm Market. Now CB2’s big brother, Crate & Barrel, has opened in Oakridge Centre. We checked out the latest answer to where to shop in Vancouver.
Where to Shop in Vancouver for Kitchenware and More
Taking up 27,000 square feet, the shop carries everything from furniture to linens to tableware. The extensive kitchenware section, however, drew most of the mom bloggers’ attention at a recent media event. If you’re a fan of that Pinterest favourite, the Weck canning jar, Crate & Barrel has an impressive and reasonably priced selection. Melon ballers, avocado slicers, cute egg timers that sit in the boiling water and change colour, small canisters with a chalkboard square for labeling – all the pieces were intriguing and well-edited.
A Range of Prices, Good Reviews
Crate & Barrel is similarly priced to its hipper sibling CB2, with some reasonable prices and some outliers. For example, patterned fabric throw pillows range from $30 up to $70, but a mid-height dresser for the bedroom was priced at $1600. Some standouts included beautiful stems of fabric flowers for $20, and slate cheese servers starting at $25.
Apartment Therapy reports they generally hear good reviews for Crate & Barrel’s upholstered furniture, such as couches and chairs, from their active population of commenters.
Gift and wedding registry is available now, but online shopping is not via their Canadian website.

If you’re wondering where to shop in Vancouver for housewares, it’s worth checking out Crate & Barrel.
