I had a great time at Urban today shopping with my fiance. We were shopping for him and we found lots of great stuff! We ended up leaving with two shirts and a cardigan. I found lots of stuff on the ladies side too but didnt try anything on. The sales associate who was helping us was very attentive and helpful (I think his name was Tom?) and great at making suggestions. Overall really great shopping experience and everything we picked up was at a very reasonable price point.

Urban straddles the line between expensive designer fashion and cheaper clothes. The stock they carry here generally is not as comprehensive as their City Centre location, but it is still quite varied. They carry a lot of Diesel and Selected, as well as J. Lindeberg, Hugo Boss, and Jack & Jones for men. Womens' brands tend to be a lot more diverse, rotating heavily with each season. They also have a fairly large denim selection for both genders, though the vast majority is pre-distressed fashion denim (True Religion, Diesel, Rock and Republic), which is usually a bit too expensive given its seasonal nature.
The merchandise as a whole is a bit difficult to quantify. Clothes are usually dressy casual, with a lot of offbeat styles. Certain brands can be very expensive, while others are more akin to something you might find at H&M. There is also a selection of accessories and jewellery with varying price points and quality. Size runs also vary depending on the brand and style, though they usually stock one of every size. Overall, prices are not the worst, and sales can be generous, as items will be repeatedly marked down.
The staff are usually friendly and helpful. Some will offer to check for more sizes, or even put in orders from other locations, while a smaller minority won't bother. Their floor space is also very large, and it's used quite well. Stock is usually displayed on low tables or on sparse hanging bars, which creates an open and uncrowded atmosphere. The music is usually fairly mellow and not irritating.
Urban is a bit hit-and-miss. To its credit, it usually gets things right. There are some interesting pieces to be found, but you need to do some digging to get to them. Prices are alright, but you can never walk in with the guarantee that the store is carrying something you will like, which sometimes makes shopping there feel like a waste of time. Designer pieces are also usually very seasonal, so it's better to frequent the store irregularly and check the sale sections. If you are not overly picky, though, this is a good destination. -

I actually stumbled upon this place as I was leaving a different store. I saw this store and I really wanted to check it out, so I did! I was actually excited when I stepped into this place. The music that was playing was awesome and I believe that played a role in my excitement. Also, the clothes in the women's section were totally awesome! I really liked a lot of items that they have and I thought for sure that they would be really expensive, but no they were not! Some of the tops that caught my eye were only about $19.99 and some other ones were a in the $20's range. I was really surprised. I also saw this really great looking raincoat that was about $58, I think.
I also liked their jeans; they have some great styles, cuts and designs (on the back pocket). They have a lot to look at and I suggest you take your time looking at all the great styles of clothes they have. I only wish they carried my size!
If you are a guy looking for some great styles then I suggest you also come and check out Urban. They have a large selection for men's clothing. I really liked a lot of their items and I only wish my boyfriend would dress like the manikins. They have this smart, cool, relaxed, kind of classy look that would make any guy look really sexy!
The staff there is really nice, sweet and friendly. They are also very helpful and are happy to help you look for any sizes or help you on your personal style.
Oh, I almost forgot! They also have some really nice pieces of jewelry, so if you want to add some accessories to outfits that you find at Urban I'm sure you can find something out of their collection. There collection is very limited, unless there were other pieces hiding in other locations around the store that I didn't see.
This is a great place and I think it's another one of my favorites. -

Urban reminds me a lot of High Grade but just a little better.
The clothes aren't as flashy and aren't as overpriced (still pretty up there) but here I can find some things I would actually wear. That being said I have rarely bought anything from here because the things I do like are so ridiculously priced. The women's clothing is a bit cheaper so girls might find this store a bit more enjoyable than I do.
The store is worth a look because it does have some good stuff but I still think this is just an overrated store and you can find much better clothing elsewhere. -

Urban is alright in my books.
Their clothes can be expensive, but not all the time. It's weird. I can pick up one thing and be blown away that they want $80 for this tiny piece of material, or I can expect to pay around $40, and it turns out to be $20. It's bizarre.
I like the style of clothes that Urban carries - especially for guys. They have some really great stuff for guys. They carry a trendy, edgy, but kind f preppy style clothes for guys and it's hot!
I don't buy a lot of the women's clothes but when I do, it's the less flashy stuff. Trendy but feminine.
They have some nice stuff! -

Urban has some good things going for it.
For one, it's pricey, but not as pricey as some of the other clothing stores on Europa Boulevard. Check out High Grade if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Their selection of men's clothing is actually really great. Most clothing store have a tiny men's section while the women's section takes up most of the store. Urban's men's section stands up for itself.
The staff are always helpful and make you feel welcome. They don't give off that awkward feeling that they want you to buy something either.
