Where to buy Lemaire in Toronto

Four counters in this city sell Lemaire, and no two of them buy the same quarter of the line. HAVEN, on the second floor at 190 Richmond Street East, holds the menswear: twenty-four styles listed this week, eighteen of them clothes. River Crossing at 754 Queen Street West holds the women's rack, thirteen pieces deep, sizes 34 to 42. Holt Renfrew on Bloor buys the bags and almost nothing to wear, and AREA+001 on Ossington lists the label but is down to a beanie.

The house keeps no store in Canada.

Its own list runs Paris, Milan, London, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu, then stops. Every Lemaire piece on a hanger here arrived on a wholesale order somebody placed two seasons ago, which makes the Toronto buy four opinions rather than a collection.

The four counters, and what each one takes

HAVEN is the deepest buy in the city and the least obvious address: 190 Richmond Street East, just east of Jarvis, second floor, so you go up a flight before you see any clothes. Arthur and Daniel Chmielewski opened in Edmonton in 2006, reached Toronto in 2012 on Berkeley Street, and moved into this 5,500 square foot room under twenty-five foot vaulted ceilings in October 2017. Twisted Belted Pants in black run CA$850, Wide Pants CA$895, the vareuse top CA$895, the double-breasted tailored jacket in carbon CA$2,070. The end-of-season rack is where the coats are: the slate black raincoat sits at CA$1,040 from CA$2,590, and only the S is left, which tells you the markdown worked.

River Crossing is the only shop in town buying Lemaire womenswear in numbers. Leah Mersky grew up here, studied sculpture at Parsons, and opened the room in 2024 to sell Murano glasses and a wool coat off the same floor. Thirteen Lemaire pieces are listed: the Five Panel Twisted Pant in black at $825, Glove Flat Ankle Boots in dark chocolate at $1,290 in EU 37 through 41, the Reversible Buttoned Sweater in stone at $1,490, the Belted Hobo Bag at $2,360. What is gone tells you how a thirteen-piece buy behaves by August. The felted coat came in S and M and both are sold, and both skirts are out in every size they arrived in. Hours are noon to six Tuesday through Saturday, noon to five Sunday, closed Monday.

Holt Renfrew at 50 Bloor Street West is a bag counter with a few knits attached. Thirteen women's Lemaire items sit on the Canadian site and nine of them are bags; the men's page is three Croissant bags with nothing to wear beside them. The clothes that survive the buy are the soft ones: a twisted dry silk shirt at $1,195, a trompe l'oeil cardigan at $890, an asymmetric cardigan at $860, a knit midi skirt at $690. Prices match the house's own Canadian pricing to the dollar, and Holts posts store availability per item, worth checking before you cross town for a bag.

AREA+001 at 38 Ossington Avenue lists Lemaire on a roster of twelve houses, next to Dries Van Noten, Marni, Undercover and Homme Plissé Issey Miyake. Sergio Senatore and Jakub Szczepaniak own and run it, open seven days, eleven to seven. What the roster amounts to online is one navy beanie, 78 per cent wool, made in Italy, marked $175 from $350 and on the site since September 2025. Treat it as a shop that occasionally takes Lemaire, and read the Ossington guide for what else that strip is doing.

How the sizing actually runs

The house answers this on its own product pages, blunt, under both the wrap coat and the Twisted pants: the models are 177 cm and 187 cm wearing sizes 36 and 48, and we recommend a size down. Lemaire cuts roomy on purpose, the leg on the Twisted pant is rounded by a twisted seam rather than by volume, and the fit you want is a notch tighter than the one that feels right in the mirror.

Then there is the labelling, which is a mess and not the shops' fault. Women's shirts come in 32 to 42, men's in 44 to 54, the unisex pieces in XXS to XL, women's shoes in 35 to 42, belts in centimetres. At HAVEN you can stand in front of Twisted pants sized S to XL and a vareuse top sized 48 to 52 from the same season. Your size is a property of the garment, not of you.

What the house is known for, and what it is not

The Croissant bag carries the label in this country. It is an assembly of curved panels with knotted ends, named after the pastry, and the Canadian ladder is fixed: Mini Fortune $1,390, Small $1,740, Fortune $1,890, Medium $1,990, Large $2,395. Goat leather and alpaca nubuck sit on the same rungs as plain leather, which is unusual and quietly generous. The material argument happens below that ladder: Holts sells the small Croissant in coated canvas for $1,090, the same bag as the leather one at $1,740.

This city pays list for the bag and waits out the coat.

The clothes are the harder sell here and the better argument. HAVEN's Twisted Belted Pants in black are CA$850, which is what lemaire.fr charges a Canadian for the same trouser, so the wholesale rack costs nothing extra. What no Toronto shop takes at all is the cheap end. The Filt net shopping bags, made with the oldest French net maker there is, established 1860, run $345 for the medium. Those you order from Paris or you go without.

The practical part

Try the outerwear and anything with a shoulder seam in person, because a Lemaire jacket reads differently on a body than on a rail. Order the bags and the belts blind. HAVEN and River Crossing sit off the same Queen car, one a block south of Queen just east of Jarvis, the other out past Bathurst, and one streetcar ride sees both buys in an afternoon.

August is the month, since the markdowns are live and the fall buy has not landed. For the wider map of who buys what, see the designer boutique guide. And if nothing here fits, lemaire.fr ships to Canada and prices in Canadian dollars at the same numbers Holts charges, which removes the usual argument for ordering direct.

Common questions

Who sells Lemaire in Toronto?

HAVEN at 190 Richmond Street East, River Crossing at 754 Queen Street West, Holt Renfrew at 50 Bloor Street West and AREA+001 at 38 Ossington Avenue all list Lemaire stock in 2026. HAVEN carries the menswear, River Crossing the womenswear, Holt Renfrew mostly bags, AREA+001 one beanie. No shop in the city carries the full line.

Is there a Lemaire store in Canada?

No, the house operates no store in Canada. Its own store list runs Paris, Milan, London, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu. Canadians buy it through wholesale accounts like the Toronto shops above, or direct from lemaire.fr, which ships here and prices in Canadian dollars.

Does Lemaire run big or small?

Lemaire runs large, and the house says so itself, printing a size-down recommendation under its own coats and trousers. Its fit models are 177 cm and 187 cm, wearing sizes 36 and 48. Sizes also switch between numeric and letter systems within a single season, so check measurements per garment.
