What to know about CNTRBND Vancouver

A retailer, not a label

CNTRBND Vancouver was the West Coast store of Toronto multi-brand luxury menswear retailer CNTRBND, owned by Christopher Casuga, stocking designer streetwear, sneakers and Canadian labels.

Permanently closed since 2024

CNTRBND shut its stores across Canada in October 2024 amid high rents and unpaid vendors, and the Vancouver location is listed as permanently closed.

Gastown store sold more than clothes

After moving from Yaletown to a roughly 1,200-square-foot space on Water Street in 2021, it ran as a lifestyle concept with footwear, books and apothecary goods.
