The style edict “leggings aren’t pants” may remain a matter of hot debate, but what’s undeniable is the demand for said leggings, as the multimillion-dollar success of Bandier has proven. The NYC-based high-end athleisure retailer was founded back in 2014 by Jennifer Bandier, formerly TLC’s music manager, who clued in early to the market for $400 yoga pants.
Now, you can shop the retailer’s spendy activewear right here in Toronto. Today, Bandier is opening a pop-up boutique at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street (50 Bloor Street West), where you can find labels like Alala, Michi, APL, Heroine Sport, Koral, LNDR, Varley and Ultracor until January 30, 2018.
