WHO WE ARE
hey, we're Ardene!
We're the ultimate destination in North America and beyond for head-to-toe apparel, footwear, and accessories, all at the best prices. In the early 1980's, we started as an accessories and jewelry retailer. Today, we're on a whole new level, with close to 300 stores in Canada, the USA, and internationally (and, of course, ardene.com and the Ardene app).
Like our customers, we're fun, full-of-life, and always seeking the new. We believe that fashion shouldn't be exclusive or intimidating – it should be approachable and celebrated with fearless enthusiasm. That's why there's something for everyone at Ardene, from loungewear to trends, including our growing Curve collection, Ardene MAN, and Eco-Conscious styles.
Psst! We're inspired by our ever-growing community and their commitment to progress and change. Today, we're focusing more than ever before on social and sustainable practices. Learn About Social Responsibility at Ardene.
