The second largest Victoria’s Secret in the world opens on Robson Street August 27, and we got a sneak peek inside

What was formerly HMV on the corner of Robson and Burrard has been stripped down to its skivvies by American lingerie mega-brand Victoria’s Secret.

The 35,000-square-foot store (the second largest Victoria’s Secret in the world) feels surprisingly intimate for such a big space, with various lingerie collections separated into smaller boudoir-like sections spread throughout two levels.

Victoria’s Secret Vancouver officially opens its doors to the public on August 27, but those lucky enough to score an invitation to a special preview shopping event on August 25 got to check out the sexy space a little earlier. Here’s a first look at the highly anticipated new store.
