The Spanish company, founded in 1985, has chosen to open its first North American store right here in Toronto’s Eaton Centre. The store opened August 30th.

Fashion blogger Nelia Belkova was there for the grand opening.  Here is here are some of here comments about the store.

Back in my Zara days, I used to look wistfully through the Inditex portfolio of brands, and wish that someday these awesome retailers would make it to Canada. Well, 8 or so years later, I finally got my wish! Earlier this week, Massimo Dutti opened its very first North American store right here in Toronto, and I couldn’t be happier!

Even le bf, who tries to avoid these fashiony events like the plague, was excited to attend the opening of the new and shiny Eaton Centre location. If you are not familiar with the Massimo Dutti brand, think of it as Zara’s older and more sophisticated sister…or brother. While Zara’s offerings tend to be on the trendier side, Massimo Dutti offers collections with more staying power.

“Massimo Dutti’s 584 stores in 53 countries share a universal design which transcends national borders to connect with today’s men and women, who are independent, urban and cosmopolitan. It offers a wide variety of collections, ranging from sophisticated high-end fashion to easygoing casual wear.”

I loved the new store’s sleek design, and elegant selection of menswear and womenswear, and will be sure to add it to my rotation of stores that I visit at least weekly!

Are you excited about this new addition to the Toronto shopping landscape? Share your thoughts.
