Become an outsider. That’s the longtime catchphrase associated with Maine-based iconic (and we do not use that word lightly) American brand L.L. Bean. Who knew the pandemic would bring new meaning to the slogan?
We’re encouraged to spend more times outdoors and, frankly, we’re happy to, thanks. Burnaby’s The Amazing Brentwood recently opened a new 12,541-square-foot store of outdoorsy (and cosy indoorsy) wonderfulness for the entire family. This, the fourth store to open in Canada this year (who says brick-and-mortar is over?) offers all the key, timeless pieces the brand is known for: Bean Boots, the warmest outerwear, sweaters, fleeces, cool toques, pajamas and even home décor—think flannel sheet sets, dog beds and muddy boot rugs. Seasonal toys (sleds and snowshoes) and fireside essential games like Scrabble and Cribbage are irresistible, and the spring season will bring a whole new collection across all departments.
And, if you’ve ever coveted the classic canvas L.L. Bean tote, now’s your chance. Ask about having yours monogrammed; it’s a brand-insider essential. —Catherine Dunwoody
