Lanvin, Chloe, Marni ... oh my! If you’ve got cash to spend on fancy frocks then this upscale South Granville boutique is a veritable treasure trove of designer fashions. Stocking off-the-runway looks from European labels, Bacci’s is a favourite among Vancouver socialites looking for red carpet worthy attire. The selection of designer footwear is equally impressive; think Lanvin multi-stripe espadrilles to complement a preppy-chic ensemble or Dries Van Noten platform sandals for a throwback 90’s vibe.
